SOUTH AFRICA’S President Cyril Ramaphosa today slammed the country’s main opposition Democratic Alliance (DA) party after it called on the United States and European countries to monitor the May elections.

The DA made the request in a letter to US Secretary of State Antony Blinken and some European foreign affairs ministers last week.

President Ramaphosa told the South African Broadcasting Corporation: “The DA’s letter to the US government is quite disingenuous and it is almost trying to sell our country to other powers in the world.”
