It's now 25 years and counting since SA witnessed a televised debate between a president and a challenger.

In a statement on Wednesday following clarification from the ANC that they would not be engaging in a televised debate on the SABC with opposition leader Mmusi Maimane, the DA has accused them of fearing such a debate. The last time it happened, Nelson Mandela and FW de Klerk debated their positions and proposals to voters ahead of the first democratic elections of 1994.

Maimane had welcomed the initiative and indicated he was ready and looking forward to going head-to-head with the president.“It has been 25 years since the last presidential debate in South Africa. Since then, the ANC has denied the people of South Africa a proper contest of ideas between its presidential candidate and DA leaders,” said Ntsekhe.
