DA leader and Minister of Agriculture John Steenhuisen has criticised the government\u2019s reliance on what he calls \u201ccorrupt and incompetent individuals\u201d to implement South Africa\u2019s development plans, warning that ongoing dialogue without action will not solve the country\u2019s deepening crises.<\/span><\/p>\n

This comes after President Cyril Ramaphosa took aim at the DA for withdrawing from the National Dialogue, accusing the party of turning its back on South Africans and lacking commitment to core democratic values. Ramaphosa called it a \u201cgreat form of hypocrisy.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Ramaphosa was hosting the president of Austria, Alexander van der Bellen, to deepen economic and trade relations between the two parties at the Union Buildings in Pretoria. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s the poverty of adherence to good principles for a party to walk away from the people of South Africa,\u201d Ramaphosa said. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cNothing is wrong with the dialogue. It will continue without the participation of the Democratic Alliance.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

He stressed that the dialogue was not a party-political event but a national platform for all South Africans\u2014churches, foundations, communities\u2014to reflect on the country\u2019s progress 30 years into democracy.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is not a party political platform. It\u2019s a platform that will see the participation of the people of South Africa as a whole.  Political parties will play a very minimal role,\u201d Ramaphosa said.<\/p>\n

He warned that by boycotting the initiative, the DA was depriving its own supporters of the opportunity to help shape South Africa\u2019s future.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat a pity for a party that says it represents 20 or so percent of the people of South Africa. They are depriving those that they seek to represent an opportunity to make an input into the future of the country.\u201d<\/p>\n

Steenhuisen, speaking on the sidelines at the Union Buildings, said: <\/span>\u201cIf you\u2019re going to rely on those people to be the ones implementing your plans and your decisions, it\u2019s going to end up just like every other issue, every other talk-shop that\u2019s happened for the last 20 years. People will still be living in abject poverty. Unemployment will still be unacceptably high.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

He insisted that South Africans have had \u201c30 years of talking\u201d and what is needed now is action\u2014specifically, the immediate and vigorous implementation of the Medium-Term Development Plan (MTDP), which the government has adopted as its roadmap to achieving 3% economic growth.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cA dialogue isn\u2019t going to feed anybody. It\u2019s not going to build a single house or create a single job. We must burn off the oxygen implementing the plan,\u201d Steenhuisen said.<\/span><\/p>\n

Referencing former President Thabo Mbeki\u2019s controversial Growth, Employment and Redistribution (GEAR) strategy in the 1990s, Steenhuisen noted how Mbeki stood firm in the face of opposition, insisting the government had a mandate to deliver.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe have a medium-term development plan. The President has said this is the pathway. Ministers have been tasked to internalise it. Now we need delivery, not more roundtable discussions,\u201d he said.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ramaphosa, in contrast, said the National Dialogue echoes historical milestones like the Freedom Charter and the post-apartheid constitutional negotiations\u2014broad-based, people-led processes that helped shape democratic South Africa.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo have those who want to boycott an overarching national manifestation like what we had when we drafted our constitution comes as a real shock to me,\u201d Ramaphosa said.<\/p>\n

He added that former President Mbeki, too, had expressed his disappointment with the DA\u2019s decision to boycott the dialogue.<\/p>\n

”I’m not surprised to see former President Thabo Mbeki having written a 10-page letter or so about precisely this, because he’s also appalled, as many South Africans are appalled, at the behavior of the Democratic Alliance,” said Ramaphosa.<\/p>\n

Steenhuisen said that the DA would respond soon to Mbeki\u2019s recently released 11-page open letter.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI don’t think intemperate attacks on a public platform, when you have a visiting head of state next to you, is the appropriate forum to do that. We will also provide Thabo Mbeki with a full report.<\/p>\n
