SONAdebate: DA MP calls on Ramaphosa to break away from ANC
PARLIAMENT - DA MP Geordin Hill-Lewis has called on President Cyril Ramaphosa to part with factions in the ANC that were opposed to policy and structural reform, and to instead assemble a progressive coalition to govern South Africa.
Hence, he had b ecome known for promising far-reaching reforms, and did so again last week in his SONA, but these never materialised. Hill-Lewis said the fault line of Ramaphosa's presidency was his quest for consensus. Yet there was wide consensus in the country as to which crises it faced and how these could be solved, but the agreement the president actually sought was within the divergent factions of the ruling party."There are still many state capture looters in his own party that are fighting him and fighting his reform agenda.
"This is a disgrace, and you should have ruled it out explicitly. But you didn’t. You said you would mobilise funding 'without putting pensions at risk'. What you mean is that you will take their pension money, and then 'guarantee' the value of the pension later."
