In response to President Cyril Ramaphosa’s remarks on the main opposition party’s election advertisement, Democratic Alliance leader John Steenhuisen equated the Phala Phala saga, as well as high unemployment, poverty, hunger, and a lack of service delivery that has sparked protests, with treason.The DA released an election advertisement last Sunday that depicted a burning South African flag.
‘If there is one person in this country who is guilty of treason against the people of South Africa, it is Cyril Ramaphosa,’ he said. According to Steenhuisen, Ramaphosa committed treason by assisting former President Jacob Zuma in selling the country to the Guptas and serving as ‘chairman of the corrupt cadre deployment committee that captured our state.’
The leader of the official opposition labelled Ramaphosa and the ruling African National Congress as ‘traitors.’ ‘He committed treason against our flag when he stuffed thousands of undeclared American Dollars into his Phala Phala couch! He committed treason against our flag when he consigned over 30 million people to poverty and over 10 million people to unemployment!’ Steenhuisen said.
