The Democratic Alliance (DA) has withdrawn from President Cyril Ramaphosa's "National Dialogue" initiative, escalating tensions within South Africa's fragile coalition government. DA leader John Steenhuisen voiced deep concern over the president's handling of corruption among ANC ministers, issuing an ultimatum for their removal and threatening consequences if ignored. This withdrawal follows the recent dismissal of a DA minister for misconduct and reflects a broader discontent with Ramaphosa’s governance. While the DA will remain in government for now, their support for budget approvals hinges on accountability from the ANC.
President Cyril Ramaphosa's refusal to act against corruption within his own ranks risks confirming that his oft-repeated public commitment to clean governance is a sham.
Until he replaces words with action against corruption within his own ranks, the DA sees no further point in wasting our breath in endless talk shops with the ANC.
