Ramaphosa, cabinet face no-confidence vote on Wednesday
President Cyril Ramaphosa and his cabinet will face motions of no-confidence in the National Assembly on Wednesday afternoon.
It will be Ramaphosa’s first no-confidence motion since he assumed office.
National Assembly Speaker Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula declined a request by the African Transformation Movement to postpone their motion in Ramaphosa, pending a court application for the votes to be conducted via a secret ballot.
The second motion, in Ramaphosa’s entire cabinet, was brought by the DA.
"President Ramaphosa is not fit to lead the nation,” says the ATM's Sibusiso Mncwabe.

“Right from the poor state of businesses and companies there's no solutions, how Covid was badly managed, the corruption of PPEs, the July unrest and even the report he himself commissioned pointed fingers at him and his cabinet and the high unemployment rate.”
DA chief whip Natasha Mazzone says they'll picket outside Parliament today in support of leader John Steenhuisen's motion of no confidence against Ramaphosa's cabinet.
"It is time for South Africans to make their voices heard loud and clear. We will no longer tolerate incompetence and the looting of the state.”
