"This is too deep under this administration Black People are treated like kak, I curse 2017 Conference."
@AvhapfaniM1 said:
"We can't celebrate the burning of parliament and blame Ramaphosa for the suffering of black people. Of the 27yrs where was Cyril Ramaphosa? People are so obsessed about Ramaphosa that all the rubbish must be dumped on him. It's like we don't have the problem with ANC but Cyril."

"Seriously he trying to turn this into a circus, got nothing to do with how government feeds him, he burned down a strategic building."
Zandile Mafe pleads not guilty, the state claims he admitted to starting the fire
In related news, Briefly News previously reported that Zandile Mafe has pleaded not guilty to starting the fire in the Parliament building in Cape Town.
However, the state attorneys claim that in the affidavit submitted by Mafe, he admitted to starting the fire and provided three reasons.
eNCA reported that Mafe took the stand on Saturday for his bail hearing. The state prosecutor listed the reasons Mafe gave for allegedly starting the fire.
He wanted President Cyril Ramaphosa to resign.
He demanded the release of Janusz Waluś. Mafe claims Waluś is innocent of the death of Chris Hani and according to the affidavit, he believes that Ramaphosa is responsible.
The prosecutors also claim that Mafe allegedly started the fire to prevent Ramaphosa from delivering the State of the Nation (SONA) address.
In addition, Mafe took to the stand and said that he was a strong supporter of former AWB leader Eugene Terreblanche according to TimesLIVE.
