Steenhuisen accuses Ramaphosa of misdirecting his attention from vaccine rollout to ANC matters
DA leader John Steenhuisen has accused President Cyril Ramaphosa of being caught up in the internal battles of the ANC while a third coronavirus wave looms in the country.
Ramaphosa has been answering questions in the National Assembly on Thursday around the Covid-19 vaccine rollout.
Steenhuisen says the country rollout is trailing behind several African countries.
Ramaphosa says the delays in the vaccine rollout are due to challenges out of his control.
"The mishaps that we have suffered have been completely out of our hands. You have not been in control in running this whole project of protecting and defending the people of South Africa but we have been."
"It's very easy for you to say we number this and number that. We've had our own objective and subjective challenges and we are addressing them and now the process is going to unfold."
