The United Democratic Movement UDM has slammed President Cyril Ramaphosas celebration of South Africas removal from the Financial Action Task Force greylist saying its tone deaf and ignores the struggles of ordinary citizens.
The partys statement comes after the latest Afrobarometer findings showed nearly half of South Africans would not oppose military rule and seven in ten are frustrated with democracy.
The UDM is calling on the government to focus on delivering visible change in peoples lives, rather than just celebrating technical milestones.
