South Africa’s President Ramaphosa Calls Opposition Party’s Flag-Burning Campaign Video ‘Treasonous’

The Democratic Alliance, the opposition party behind the ad, claims the video symbolically depicts the fate awaiting the country if the ruling African National Congress (ANC) forms a coalition with two other parties to retain power after the May 29 election.

South African President Cyril Ramaphosa, who heads the ANC, condemned the ad as “despicable” and “treasonous.”
