I-DA isizwakalise ukukhathazeka ngekuchaza njengokwehluleka kukaMongameli wezwe uCyril Ramaphosa ukuphumela obala ngegama likalowo azomqoka ukuthi abeyinxusa leNingizimu Afrika eMelika.
Ithi okuyikhathaza nakakhulu ukuthi iyasola ukuthi umongameli ngathi ufuna ukusebenzisa uhlelo lwe-ANC i-Cadre Deployment ukukhetha azombeka kulesikhundla, nekuyinto iDA engahambisani nayo.
Ephendula imibuzo ephalamende ngaloludaba uMongameli, usengene ezintangeni, kodwa waqinisekisa ukuthi uzosimemezela maduze isinqumo sakhe eqhuba ngokuthi uzoqinisekisa nokuthi ukhetha umuntu osilungele lesikhundla, onamava, nowazi kabanzi ngepolitiki yaseMelika.
Okhulumela i-DA uRyan Smith uthi uMongameli kumele enze ubulungiswa.
“The president’s failure to confirm that the member would not be the ANC, means that we risk another ambassador that focuses on the interest of the party and not and not the state. The DA demands that our country nominate a professional, non-political, suitably skilled person to head-up South Africa’s foreign mission in Washington D.C. to urgently resolve trade disputes in order to protect critical South African Jobs,” says Smith.
