Government has not helped small businesses get off the ground, DA parliamentary leader Mmusi Maimane said on Monday.JOHANNESBURG - In the course leading up to South Africa’s sixth democratic election, political parties have been pulling all the stops to garner voter support, resulting in some of the most revered and controversial quotes from the country’s top leaders making headlines.ANC president Cyril Ramaphosa admitted ANC members enabled state capture on 29 April.
DA leader Mmusi Maimane’s address during the party’s 2019 election manifesto launch criticised the ANC-led government over major corruption scandals, mentioned allegations that came from the Zondo Commission of Inquiry into state capture and commented on the VBS Mutual Bank heist.“Our leaders lost sight of our goal. They realised they could make money off every job, every contract and every purchase that involved the government.
EFF leader Julius Malema delivered a fiery speech at the launch of the party’s 2019 election manifesto on 2 February earlier this year, addressing the revelations at the state capture Commission of Inquiry, the land debate and the state of education in the country.“Agrizzi must also be arrested. He is not our friend. He is a thief and a racist, but just because he is racist does not mean we should not listen to him. Agrizzi must continue revealing those who benefitted in corrupt dealings.
