'Ramaphosa has abandoned Durban' - Maimane's last push to woo KZN | kaveels SAElections2019
In a vigorous attempt to woo KwaZulu-Natal voters, DA leader Mmusi Maimane told Durban residents that President Cyril Ramaphosa had failed them and he urged them to vote for the DA.
Referring to recent violent protests in the city, Maimane said Ramaphosa had visited the area"but he didn't bother to intervene in this situation". The DA leader went for the jugular, saying that the protests were a direct result of ANC patronage and corruption. "When this happens, it is the people of the city who suffer. This is why we need change – here in KwaMashu, in Durban, in KZN and in our country. The ANC, as a government, is dead."
