DA leader John Steenhuisen said President Cyril Ramaphosa’s national address on Sunday was used to campaign for the ANC.
In his address, Ramaphosa detailed the progress made during the sixth administration. The EFF wants an investigation into the"misuse" of the SABC by Ramaphosa's office to avoid a repeat in the future. "Ramaphosa's manipulation was cynical, calculated and designed to influence the outcome of the election by providing the ANC with unearned airtime not made available to any other party contesting the election.
"This should serve as an urgent warning to all of our democratic institutions, including the IEC. If Ramaphosa is willing to abuse his office for narrow political gain even before the ANC has lost its majority, what else will he be willing to do to subvert the will of the people and cling to power after voters take away the ANC's majority on Wednesday?
"The president was, therefore, being accountable to the nation as we end the term of the 6th administration. Secondly, he was taking the responsibility of assuring South Africans that these elections are going to be free and fair and, more importantly, safe. That responsibility can only be discharged by a sitting head of state," Magwenya said.
Meanwhile, the EFF has also expressed its concern and condemned Ramaphosa for using the SABC for political gain. The party condemned the"hijacking of the state broadcaster for partisan purposes".
