He said Ramaphosa has repeatedly ignored scientific and epidemiological evidence.
In a scathing attack on President Cyril Ramaphosa’s handling of the Covid-19 pandemic, EFF leader Julius Malema questioned scientists’ agenda, referred to scientists’ findings to make a point, and then complained that Ramaphosa didn’t follow scientists’ advice.
He said the Department of Health’s response has been “less than satisfactory” and they shouldn’t build temporary hospitals – in reference to field hospitals – but “hospitals that will last forever”. He called for an immediate, independent scientific review of the Covid-19 figures and said it is important that politicians don’t play the role of coronavirus-statisticians.
He also promised there will be “hell to pay” if he finds that any of the R12-million that EFF public representatives donated to the solidarity fund is diverted through corrupt means.
