Ramaphosa recently highlighted that some of the country's best-run municipalities were under DA control, a move that seems to be backfiring within the ANC's tripartite alliance.

He said: "I can name it here because there's nothing wrong with competition. They are often DA-controlled municipalities. We need to ask ourselves, what is it that they are doing that is better than what we are doing?

"And there's nothing wrong with us saying we want to go and see what Cape Town is doing. We want to go and see what Stellenbosch is doing."
