President Cyril Ramaphosa has apologised to both EFF leader Julius Malema and South Africa for what he described as the political back-and-forth of domestic abuse claims in Parliament which "trivialised" a national crisis.
On Thursday, Ramaphosa apologised for ANC MP Boy Mamabolo's accusation made in the House that EFF leader Julius Malema had beaten his wife, decrying the politicisation of gender-based violence.
Ramaphosa, who was replying to two days of debate on his State of the Nation Address (SONA), did not mention Mamabolo by name, but described the ongoing claims against Malema as "uncalled for". For this story and more, visit News24: www.news24.com/
