The ANC has poured cold water on claims that President Cyril Ramaphosa is going head-to-head with DA leader Mmusi Maimane in a pre-elections debate organised by the SABC.

ANC head of elections Fikile Mbalula said in a statement on Wednesday that the party was not aware of any debate between the two.

"The ANC refuses to be cajoled into a debate that never was between the ANC president comrade Cyril Ramaphosa [and] DA leader Mmusi Maimane," said Mbalula. He was reacting to reports that Ramaphosa was going up against Maimane in what would have been an unprecedented pre-elections debate in democratic SA.

News of the pending SABC debate broke on Tuesday when Maimane released a statement saying he was looking forward to debating with Ramaphosa.’s official presidential debate which was due to be held on April 28 and to be flighted on SABC 2 and some of the public broadcaster's radio stations.

Cowards

thought the Marikana butcher will over the racist DA front man

Usabani the Marikana murderer

I recall watching a program a while back and a certain it was mentioned that MmusiMaimane was a Debater of note & skilled at it. Am sure CyrilRamaphosa must've gotten wind of this. Probably scared of running home with his tail between his legs😂😂😂or another BosasaRevelation

Whatever is standard practice in every functional democracy is off-limits to the MYANC as they have nothing more to offer to the country and no way to convince people to vote them with actual arguments. Only thing that is left is for voters to show them the exit!

It would be too ' shocking ' for CyrilRamaphosa to debate, besides he would only answer ' I was not aware' to every question or statement because ol Buffalo has no recollection of being the deputy president of SA in fact he has no idea what the fuck is going on apparently.

Liberation parties never agree on live debates, the chances of them being exposed is way too high.... Cowards...

What would he really debate about the pastor though, you give too much credit to Mmusi, he's just loud mount no substance. Khonkotha nje. I'm glad you won't be elevating this mfundisi something you'd that, mfundindi who is our to protect white privileges

Surely, they don't have anything to hide. A debate is healthy. Might be expecting MM to shock CR with a few unexpected questions.

Coward.
