Ramaphosa must call Malema out on 'racist remarks' - Zille
20 March 2018
Cape Town - President Cyril Ramaphosa must call EFF president Julius Malema out on his "racist remarks" at Nelson Mandela Bay Mayor Athol Trollip, as he apparently tries to woo the firebrand back into the folds of the ANC, Western Cape Premier Helen Zille said on Monday.
"A more racist statement would be hard to find anywhere, and yet I don't hear a word from President Ramaphosa," Zille said at a community meeting in a shopping mall in Durbanville, Cape Town.
She was referring to several comments the EFF leader had made about the party's plan to remove Trollip through a motion of no confidence.
On Saturday, Trollip applauded the DA for ensuring that former president Jacob Zuma was charged with corruption."Compare this consistent principled [determination] with the EFF flip-flopping on this issue. In fact, if you research the [EFF's] positions on issues of major national importance since their inception, you will see that flip-flopping is the only constant," Trollip tweeted.
