It is dreadfully uncaring and highly hypocritical of President Cyril Ramaphosa to have turned his back on today’s Tembisa fire, as he sped away in his bullet-proof convoy while houses burnt down.

While Ramaphosa was in the area to make more empty promises about services, the clearest sign of a failing ANC government revealed itself right behind him in the form of a shack fire.

The DA calls on Ramaphosa to apologise to this community and to give them detailed timelines on when their community will receive services without delay.

Instead of making their community into a campaign platform, he ought to have dealt with their serious service backlog that keeps the community in oppressive poverty.

DA Councillors in Ekurhuleni will begin efforts to help these residents with donations of food, clothing and building materials.

While Mr Ramaphosa may turn his back, DA members will step in to help.
