'Waar was jy? Play the ball, not the man' - Ramaphosa to Malema during Parly debate

President Cyril Ramaphosa has called members of Parliament to show leadership and not allow their work to 'be derailed by sowers of disunity' or for debates to become personal. Ramaphosa called out Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) leader Julius Malema who on Friday, called Ramaphosa a wounded buffalo, and said the ANC’s partnership with the DA in the Government of National Unity was a sell-out position.

Well spoken Mr President i think Malema need to be re educated he lacks wisdom

[nthabisengkwayiba]

Great and brilliant response Mr. President. ❤ Julius Malema is very disrespectful and equally sets a very bad example for our youth. We continue to pray for development and prosperity in our country. Jobs for the millions of our dear fellow citizens. ❤

Mr Ramaphosa is very intelligent and rich l advice greedy Malema to stop comparing himself with Ramaphosa he cannot match him in everything
