Earlier this month‚ EFF chief whip Floyd Shivambu objected to the repeated presence of Treasury deputy director general Ismail Momoniat at finance committee meetings and asked why director general Dondo Mogajane did not appear. He said this undermined African “representativeness”.
“I think he undermines Africans‚” Shivambu said. “He does not take the director-general‚ the finance minister or the deputy finance minister seriously. He thinks he is superior to them. He takes all the decisions and he is always here in Parliament as if he is National Treasury alone. He is supposed to focus on what he is assigned to.”
On March 4‚ Malema said party would remove Athol Trollip as the mayor of Nelson Mandela Bay because he is white.
“Why not [Herman] Mashaba? Why not Solly [Msimanga] and all of that? Because the mayor of [the] DA in PE (Port Elizabeth) is a white man.”
Regarding their complaint to the Human Rights Commission‚ DA Youth Federal Leader Luyolo Mphithi said: “No South African should ever have to face the humiliation of such an assault on their dignity and it is now becoming evident that the EFF is not ready to govern a diverse society‚ such as South Africa.”
He added: “Political parties have to set an example for the public and the EFF is not only intolerable but also incredibly divisive.”
