The DA has given President Cyril Ramaphosa a 48-hour ultimatum to fire several ANC ministers and deputy ministers implicated in corruption or face the consequences. The ultimatum comes after Ramaphosa's sudden decision to remove DA Deputy Minister Andrew Whitfield from his position. The Presidency confirmed the dismissal of Deputy Trade, Industry and Competition Minister, Andrew Whitfield, plunging the Government of National Unity (GNU) into shaky ground. Whitfield, a DA Member of Parliament, was serving in the Ramaphosa-led GNU. Phemelo gets reaction from DA spokesperson Karabo Khakhau.
