DA leader John Steenhuisen said President Cyril Ramaphosa played a “central role” in bringing about the nation’s current devastating reality – that almost five million children go hungry in South Africa every day.
As a result, his party has laid a formal complaint with the South African Human Rights Commission (SAHRC) against President Cyril Ramaphosa for the 4.8 million starving children in the country, Steenhuisen said.
Steenhuise said he will use the latest State of the South African Child Report by the Nelson Mandela Children’s Fund, which found that 4.8 million of the country’s 20 million children are starving.
“Child starvation should keep the President awake at night. Addressing it should be his top priority. Clearly, this is not the case. Let us hope that the SAHRC finds in favour of South Africa’s 4.8 million starving children and holds President Ramaphosa to account for failing them.”
