"What we are announcing is that we publicly endorse Cyril that we have been talking and we agree on how to approach the issue of maximizing unity in the organization in particular moving towards 2019 because it would be wrong for us to have a limited approach about what we have come to do here,” says Baleka Mbete, ANC Chairperson.
