SA discusses Ramaphosa slamming Steenhuisen

Briefly News previously reported that President Cyril Ramaphosa slammed Democratic Alliance's leader, John Steenhuisen, for his remarks about the Gauteng Crime Prevention Wardens. Ramaphosa was disappointed in Steenhuisen's comments, which he made last month.

According to TimesLIVE, Ramaphosa spoke about John Steenhuisen in his response to the SONA debate. He accused the DA of wanting to reverse transformation in the country. This was after Steenhuisen called the Gauteng Crime Prevention Wardens drunkards who shop at Pep.

Ramaphosa slammed the statements as racist. He said that to refer to people in the manner in which Steenhuisen did was inherently racist, degrading and demeaning.
