    Mr J W W Julius (DA) 29 Oct 2019 hansard

    Hon House Chair, this past Sunday whilst delivering the key note address at the Oliver Tambo Commemoration, in his capacity as ANC leader, President Ramaphosa made some hair-raising revelations that the member over there refuses to mention. His instruction was that, the ANC should no longer be

    prepared to defend the indefensible, no longer. This implies that the ANC used to and are still defending the indefensible. That is what we saw today, that is why the Ace is still in Luthuli House, hon Mc Gluwa.

    He also said that the ANC can no longer close ranks but hold his public representative accountable [Interjections.] No longer, implies that you are still closing ranks and we have seen it today. Talk is cheap Mr President, they are all still in government, some serving at the behest of the President. You appointed them. Land claims fraudsters, VBS looters, Gupta aiders, the list goes on.

    Lately even a Tiger that paid off journalists to keep his scandals under wrap, they are all sitting and today we saw how they are closing wraps. It is time for the President to stop boiling this frog; we need action, real action. South Africans are tired of these looters that are still in government whilst they belong in jail. [Applause.]
