EFF president Julius Malema has again called on the DA to leave the Government of National Unity (GNU), effectively making way for his party to join the government.

- MASHUDU SADIKE

Malema’s remarks come after the DA threatened to withdraw from the National Dialogue due to what they perceive as President Cyril Ramaphosa's failure to address corruption within the ANC.

The DA’s ultimatum to Ramaphosa stems from the president's decision to remove DA MP Andrew Whitfield as deputy minister of Trade and Industry.

The DA claims that Whitfield’s removal was unjustified and that Ramaphosa has failed to take action against corrupt ANC ministers.

Malema, however, sees the DA’s ultimatum as an opportunity for the EFF to join the GNU.

At the weekend Malema criticised the DAs decision to join the GNU, saying that they should have allowed the ANC to govern as a minority party instead.

“If the DA was anti-corrupt and pro-poor, they should have allowed the ANC to govern as a minority party. Nothing was forcing them into government.
