Patriotic Alliance PA deputy leader Kenny Kunene has vowed to defend President Cyril Ramaphosa against the possible motion of no confidence by the DA.
DA leader John Steenhuisen threatened to table a motion of no confidence against Ramaphosa, citing alleged failure to act against corruption-accused ANC ministers, after the recent removal of DAs former deputy trade and industry minister Andrew Whitfield.
In an interview with Newzroom Afrika, Kunene said the motion would not succeed.
The DA does not hold any cards whatsoever, he said. As the PA we will defend the president, we will make sure that we mobilise that this motion of no confidence does not succeed. That must be condemned in the strongest of terms.
Whitfield was fired after he allegedly took an unauthorised trip to the US. Kunene supported this decision, saying Ramaphosa acted correctly in his capacity as the president.
