EFF Leaders Blast President Cyril Ramaphosa for Fixing a Pothole on “Non-Existent” Road in Mpumalanga

• The Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) leader Julius Malema has called out President Cyril Ramaphosa for his pothole-fixing expedition
• Malema told EFF members that they should have been there to ask the president which pothole he was fixing because there was no road
• EFF deputy Floyd Shivambu called for pictures of Ramaphosa hard at work to be deleted as they are embarrassing

DELMAS - Julius Malema, leader of the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF), has slammed President Cyril Ramaphosa over "embarrassing" images of a road repair project in Delmas, Mpumalanga.

Ramaphosa visited the Botleng township over the weekend as part of the African National Congress's Letsema service delivery campaign. The president joined municipal workers who were fixing up a damaged road.

Malema blasted Ramaphosa and ANC officials at the third North West Provincial People's Assembly in Klerksdorp and told delegates that EFF members should have been there to tell Ramaphosa that he can't repair potholes on that road because there is no road, reports TimesLIVE.

Malema encouraged EFF members to hold placards reminding Ramaphosa of his alleged failures every time the president tries to take advantage of citizens.

EFF deputy Floyd Shivambu also chastised Ramaphosa after images surfaced online. In response to Minister of Transport Fikile Mbalula's tweet, Shivambu asked which road was fixed by Ramaphosa.

Shivambu further asked Mbalula to delete his tweet because it was embarrassing on a new level. Shivambu wrote:

"Which road is being repaired here, minister? What level of desperate grandstanding is this? We knew things are bad but not to these embarrassing levels. Please delete this tweet and the photos posted about the illusionary fixing of roads! Please!"
