'Waar was jy? Play the ball, not the man' - Ramaphosa to Malema during Parly debate
Eyewitness News
This video has been trending in South Africa
In a recent and somewhat dramatic video titled 'Waar was jy? Play the ball, not the man' - Ramaphosa to Malema during Parly debate, tensions ran high as President Cyril Ramaphosa addressed the issue of playing the ball rather than the man in parliamentary debates. The video captures a moment where Ramaphosa firmly reminds Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) leader Julius Malema to focus on the substance of the debate rather than personal attacks.
Ramaphosa emphasizes the importance of constructive dialogue and focusing on the 'ball of development' rather than attacking individuals. He highlights Malema's tendency to veer off course by playing 'the man' instead of engaging on the actual issues at hand. Ramaphosa urges Malema to delve into the history and essence of organizations like the National Union of Mine Workers, urging him to speak to key figures who have shaped the labor movement in South Africa.
The exchange becomes tense as Ramaphosa questions Malema's whereabouts during critical moments in history, challenging him to be more informed and engaged in constructive dialogue. The President's call for decorum is met with applause, as he invites members of the parliament to engage in respectful and meaningful debate.
The video captures a moment of intensity and conflict but also serves as a reminder of the importance of maintaining civility and focus on policy discussions within the parliamentary setting. As political leaders engage in debates and discussions, it is crucial to stay grounded in the issues at hand and avoid personal attacks that can detract from meaningful dialogue.
The 'Waar was jy? Play the ball, not the man' video serves as a testament to the lively and at times combative nature of parliamentary debates in South Africa, highlighting the need for politicians to engage in discussions with respect and a focus on policy matters rather than personal animosities. It underscores the importance of maintaining a level of decorum and professionalism in political discourse for the benefit of the country as a whole
