[File Image] President Ramaphosa addressing the nation
Some residents of Bloemfontein are urging President Cyril Ramaphosa to announce strong action against corruption and organised crime in his address to the nation tonight.
The President is scheduled to speak at around 7pm.
The SABC will carry the President’s address live on its channels including radio, TV and online.
KwaZulu-Natal Police Commissioner Lieutenant-General Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi made allegations last weekend against Police Minister Senzo Mchunu and senior police officials.
Here are the views of some Bloemfontein residents.
“As a community, we have heard from Mr Mkhwanazi, the President must show accountability because he is the head of the system [country] and we are really expecting him to do the right thing and make a thorough investigation. He must be transparent in that investigation. And the person that came out [Mkhwanazi] must also be protected. We want see the outcomes, we are looking forward to those outcomes and see whether it will come out the way we are expecting.”
“I would love for the President to remove Mchunu immediately. Because our country is in danger due children dealing in drugs. Our greatest challenge is drugs. So President must remove Mchunu and put someone who will lead that department properly.”
“You know what I think, one thing should happen, the President must be removed because he is also corrupt and he is like everyone who is messing things up.”
