Cyril Ramaphosa is 'no saviour', says Maimane SAElections2019
DA leader Mmusi Maimane has reminded South Africans that current head of state and president of the ANC Cyril Ramaphosa was part of the leadership collective when the country was looted during the state capture era.
Maimane goes head-to-head with Ramaphosa, the EFF's Julius Malema and several other leaders to become South Africa's next president, with the odds already in favour of the ANC, which is the country's largest political party. Malema, who returned to Dobsonville in Soweto on Saturday where he grew up, told thousands of guests at the DA's Phetogo rally, the final major gathering the DA held ahead of the national elections, taking place on Wednesday.
He said the ANC wanted South Africans to believe it had elected a leader who"just arrived in time to save us", said Maimane.The DA leader accused Ramaphosa of protecting former president Jacob Zuma throughout his many scandals. "Zuma and the Guptas were protected in vote after vote after vote. His name is recorded in these votes as one of those who betrayed us," he said, referring to the controversial family accused of capturing Zuma and using their relationship with him to loot from South African taxpayers.
