President Cyril Ramaphosa en John Steenhuisen het ‘n meningsverskil op Twitter gehad na Ramaphosa tydens die Brics-beraad gesê het Rusland is ‘n “waardevolle vriend en bondgenoot van Suid-Afrika”.
Steenhuisen het gesê die president praat nie namens alle Suid-Afrikaners nie; nie almal in die land, insluitende die DA, sien Rusland of Poetin as ‘n bondgenoot nie.
The DA distances itself from recent comments made by President Ramaphosa during bilateral engagements with Russian President Vladimir Putin, where he stated that "Russia is a valuable ally and friend." https://t.co/kzeOsp7VC7

Ramaphosa het gister ná Steenhuisen se kommentaar gesê die DA kan nie hulle beleidsposisies op hom afdwing deur die RNE nie.
Gayton McKenzie, minister van sport, kuns en kultuur, het Steenhuisen op X gekritiseer oor sy kommentaar en het gesê: “Jy praat nie vir die regering nie, die president doen. Gaan werk, minister”.
The President made a huge mistake by leaving you behind, he should have taken you with and you would have smiled and laughed with President Putin just like you did with President Xi. You are not speaking on behalf of government, the President does, go back to work now Minister. https://t.co/CAZhnGNHdi
