Ramaphosa accused of using SANDF helicopter as "ANC taxi"

The DA will be laying a complaint with the Public Protector against President Cyril Ramaphosa over his use of defence force resources while out on the campaign trail. BizNews correspondent Michael Appel spoke to the DA's spokesperson on security and justice in the NCOP, George Michalakis, about the flight to Welkom in the Free State which took place on 8 October under the ANC's Letsema campaign. Ramaphosa, as president of the ANC, faces a battle on two fronts. In December he'll square off against party rivals in an attempt to hold on to the reins of the ANC, while in about 18 months time, his party faces an uphill battle in the 2024 national elections. Michalakis says this isn't the first time the ANC has blurred the lines between party and state describing it as a move "that has serious consequences for our democracy".
