#DeKlerkMustFall: South Africans debate SONA, the EFF and apartheid

#DeKlerkMustFall

SONA 2020 might be over already, but South Africans are still weighing in on the events that interrupted Parliament last week when the EFF called for the removal of former president FW de Klerk.

The political party stated that de Klerk, who ruled during apartheid, did not deserve to be present at the joint sitting on Thursday evening. Many South Africans on the ground seemed to agree.

In fact, on Tuesday morning, the hashtag #DeKlerkMustFall gained traction on Twitter as people debated the former president’s past and the EFF’s concerns.

Some, meanwhile, believe that the ANC is a bigger problem in the country.

#DeKlerkMustFall continues to trend as South Africans weigh in on apartheid, the EFF and the ANC’s role in the country.
