Maimane: 'Cyril clearly not in charge, simply the face of ANC’s campaign'
DURBAN - President Cyril Ramaphosa is clearly not in charge, is simply the face of the African National Congress’s election campaign, and his promise of a new dawn is nothing but empty rhetoric intended to fool voters ahead of the election, Democratic Alliance leader Mmusi Maimane said on Sunday.
"At the same time the ANC released its national and provincial lists for the upcoming election, and what immediately stood out was that the very same people who inflicted this energy crisis on us were once again given prominent positions on the list. After 8 May they will be deployed to the ANC benches in parliament and will most likely hold positions in President Ramaphosa’s Cabinet. These people should be sent to prison, not parliament.
"If he cannot even keep the worst offenders in the looting of our country and the destruction of our economy out of his Cabinet, then there can be no turnaround under the ANC. President Ramaphosa is clearly not in charge. He is simply the face of the ANC’s campaign, and his promise of a new dawn is nothing but empty rhetoric intended to fool voters ahead of the election," Maimane said.
