South African president faces his first Motion of no confidence in parliament

President Cyril Ramaphosa fitness to run the office will be debated by the National Assembly next Thursday.
This will be the first time MPs debate Ramaphosa’s fitness to hold the highest office in the land since his election in February 2018.
The motion was brought by the African Transformation Movement (ATM) in February amid load shedding and the country plunging into economic crisis at the time.
ATM president Vuyolwethu Zungula previously said his party, being a faith based organisation, gave Ramaphosa’s administration the benefit of the doubt, on the basis of the majority
“We thought as social democrats we should respect the will of the majority,” he said. “But the sixth administration has turned out to be the most advised administration since the dawn of democracy, with a number of advisory bodies and various envoys whose advice, it seemed, was falling on deaf ears or was being poorly implemented.”
“It is safe to say this country has a parallel cabinet but still no positive outcome. SA allowed President Ramaphosa a free hand to do things the new dawn way but the country keeps sliding.”
Zungula said despite many summits, investment conferences and pledges, the country continued to sink.
For so many decades South Africa has been the most stable country in the whole of African continent but lately the usual has been happening.
More details will follow after the debate takes place next week, Thursday.
