'I'm sorry,' says Ramaphosa to Malema after wife-abuse claim in parliament

Ramaphosa said, in reference to a text message he received from a young woman upset at how gender-based violence was used as a political tool, that “we should not resort to using issues such as these, as it was used also against you, to politicise and to trivialise an important issue that affects so many women in our country”.

“As we do it, we must have respect for one another and show respect for the women of our country,” he said.

Can this Venda focus on crime, rape, murder, medical facilities and the economy instead of this shit?

Why is he apologising? Did Malema apologise for his unwarranted attack on Ramaphosa? Why is he even entertaining this issue at SONA? The ANC are distracted. C'mon focus!

Hei Shivambu the president can say what he wants

That's called big balls. Thank you for being humble.

Don't try to be Smart president focus on the really matters rather than GDV

‘Nomazizi must rest in peace’ – Malema accuses Ramaphosa of abusing his late ex-wifeThe EFF has once again overshadowed the joint sitting in Parliament, this time with allegations that President Cyril Ramaphosa beat his late former wife. The greatest favour Malema & his friend Zuma can do to the late Nomazizi is to go to a police station and lay charges of domestic violence against the President. That will prove Malema leadership on issues of domestic violence. It started by mama Batha👇 Why though, do we have to stoop that low. I guess politicians see none of that.
