Why praising the DA can't save Ramaphosa

South African President Cyril Ramaphosa , addresses the media as a fire continues to burn in the South African Parliament buildings, in Cape Town on January 2, 2022.

This is the venue where he was in charge of ushering in our founding constitution. Sunday must have been especially emotional for him. Let’s hope security has been increased at the Constitutional Court, Union Buildings and other symbolic sites. The disruption caused by the parliament fire suits their agenda. Coming two months after local government elections where the ANC lost control of several metros, it adds to the impression of a weak president.However, the efficiency of Democratic Alliance municipal and provincial governments in responding to the fire must have seemed a godsend to Ramaphosa.One problem for Ramaphosa is that if he prevails over the RETs, he must lead the ANC in the 2024 national and provincial elections.
