President Cyril Ramaphosa has hit back at the DA’s criticism of his cabinet, saying SA has confidence in it.

DA leader John Steenhuisen has tabled a motion of no confidence in Ramaphosa’s cabinet, saying SA needs a new cabinet.

Steenhuisen said a “simple majority” was needed to pass the motion in parliament and only 50 or so ANC MPs need to support the motion for it to pass.

He said if the motion is rejected, it will stand as conclusive evidence that Ramaphosa is a “lonely president”, and nothing more than a “convenient front, lending a sense of legitimacy and decency to a wholly self-serving, useless, corrupt governing party”.
