Democratic Alliance DA leader John Steenhuisen says President Cyril Ramaphosa must fire DA ministers from his cabinet if Ramaphosa is not happy with the DAs strong stance against corruption.
The DA leader earlier announced his party was withdrawing from the upcoming National Dialogue after he said Ramaphosa ignored the DAs demand that two ANC government ministers be dismissed.
The party says Ramaphosas decision to axe DA Deputy Minister Andrew Whitfield lay in stark contrast to Ramaphosas failure to act against what the DA says are errant ANC ministers like Higher Education Minister Nobuhle Nkabane and Human Settlements Minister Thembi Simelane.
Ramaphosa axed Whitfield after he travelled to the US without the presidents permission.
Steenhuisen says Ramaphosa needed to act against corruption.
