What?! Can this be? President Cyril Ramaphosa landed in Welkom in the Free State using a South African National Defence Force (SANDF) Oryx helicopter.
IT WAS REVEALED THAT CYRIL’S VISIT WAS TO PARTICIPATE IN ANC’S LETSEMA CAMPAIGN
The Democratic Alliance MP, George Michalakis, recently revealed that Cyril’s visit was to participate in the ANC’s Letsema campaign and engage with local ANC branches.
Ramaphosa was seen landing in the military helicopter in his ANC paraphernalia.

“President Ramaphosa landed in Welkom in the Free State using a South African National Defence Force (SANDF) Oryx helicopter. His visit was to participate in the ANC’s Letsema campaign and engage with local ANC branches. Ramaphosa was seen landing in the military helicopter in his ANC paraphernalia.”
“In July 2022 the DA leader in the Free State, Dr Roy Jankielsohn, also referred to an incident where the President and the Free State Premier, Sisi Ntombela, handed over a state-funded house as part of the launch of the ANC’s Letsema campaign. The lengths that the governing party will go to for political gain clearly have no bounds.”
George Michalakis
Michalakis said it is of grave concern that the SANDF, a supposedly impartial organisation, is involved in politicking.
‘CONCERNING THAT SANDF IS INVOLVED IN POLITCKING’
“The ANC has repeatedly shown its disregard for the separation of party and State and is willfully misusing taxpayer money to fund its own campaign.”

How ironic is it that Cyril said during his campaign in Welkom the ANC party is committed to dealing with the root cause of the rot in the ANC?
He reportedly also promised to address service delivery issues raised by residents of Welkom, in the Free State.
The president is on Saturday leading the ANC’s Letsema campaign in the province.
