Ramaphosa’s censure of Ndabeni-Abrahams is the easy way out
8 April 2020
Note to Editors: Please find attached a soundbite and a video by DA Shadow Minister of Communications and Digital Technologies, Phumzile Van Damme MP
The President’s announcement this morning that he has censured Minister Stella Ndabeni-Abrahams is better than nothing, and far more than we have come to expect of the governing party, but we cannot praise a fish for attempting to move a fin in order to swim.
We note Ndabeni-Abrahams’s apology, but it is a little too late.
As Minister, a leader and an MP, Ndabeni-Abrahams has a responsibility that exceeds that of the public in setting the example while our country tries to contain a global pandemic that has infected over a million and killed over 80 000 globally. She ought to know better.
