Presidency claims Ramaphosa answered Phala Phala question

[konfab]

Point is they supported and shielded him because they were hitched to the same wagon as him. If they'd let him be impeached they'd have had to admit that he was a disaster. They even supported him through the stolen election thing - well, some started to drift off muttering at that point. The health care thing is probably another area where they felt he's over the line. Their inner conservative couldn't let that pass, but they otherwise supported him because they were stuck with him. Same with what the ANC are doing and that is despite the fact that about half of their elected reps would want CR to be toppled but they want him gone their way.

So you proved my point that they are not tribalistic and vote according to the merits of the legislation.

Thank you.
