KEMPTON PARK - Political freedom means little without economic justice.
That was the message from President Cyril Ramaphosa as he addressed the final day of the Liberation Movements Summit in Kempton Park.
Angola's MPLA, Namibia's Swapo, Mozambique's Frelimo, Zimbabwe's Zanu-PF, and Tanzania's CCM are attending the event.
The President warned of renewed attempts at regime change and called for urgent solutions to Africa’s challenges.

Ramaphosa also stressed the need to resolve the land question, industrialise our minerals, and create jobs for the youth.
"To meet present day challenges we require urgent substantial and sustainable solutions to Africa's challenges. We need to find innovative ways of resolving our problems and challenges. The question we must answer is whether our movements are able to provide the leadership that is required in the world of today and tomorrow," explained Ramaphosa.
'The answer must lie in our ability to transform our movements, our governments, our economies, our societies and our consciousness. We must recognise that our political independence is incomplete without economic justice," added Ramaphosa.
