#FirstThingsFirst - Malema vs Ramaphosa

Loading player...
During a Q&A session in parliament yesterday, EFF leader Julius Malema accused President Cyril Ramaphosa of undermining International Relations and Cooperation Minister Ronald Lamola when he spoke to billionaire Elon Musk earlier this year. According to Malema, Ramaphosa should have followed diplomatic protocols when he wanted to speak with Musk. He also added, "don't you think you individually have emboldened white people to undermine us, and you have single-handedly destroyed the diplomatic relations of South Africa with other countries, and you have destroyed and juniorised the Department of International Relations." The team and listeners shared their thoughts on this exchange between Ramaphosa and Malema.
