The DA wrote on their website that “We need a government that tightens its own belt, so we don’t have to keep tightening ours. We need a cabinet that is lean and effective, not the largest cabinet in the world, that also needs a parallel cabinet because it can’t do its job.”
“We need a president that has full focus on running South Africa, not one eye on stashing his cash. Your billionaire president can take his billion dollars and move. We can’t. We have to make South Africa work.”
“Your billionaire president is not affected by fuel prices. We are. And we’re struggling. So if you care anything at all about the people of South Africa, show it by slashing fuel prices today.” wrote the Democratic Alliance.
