DA Calls on Ramaphosa to Defend MP Emma Powell Amid “Politically Motivated” Disinformation Claims

DA Calls on Ramaphosa to Defend MP Emma Powell Amid “Politically Motivated” Disinformation Claims

South Africa’s Democratic Alliance (DA) has urgently requested President Cyril Ramaphosa’s intervention after one of its MPs, Emma Powell, faced allegations of spreading disinformation during a U.S. official visit. The opposition party warns the claims threaten both Powell’s reputation and the stability of the Government of National Unity (GNU).

A leaked intelligence report accuses Powell of harming South Africa’s international relations by allegedly misrepresenting the country’s position on the Expropriation Bill during her U.S. engagements. The document suggests her comments risk damaging diplomatic ties, particularly regarding land reform policies.

The DA has dismissed the allegations as politically motivated, demanding Ramaphosa ensure a fair investigation. “This sets a dangerous precedent where dissent is criminalized,” said DA leader John Steenhuisen. “We urge the President to protect democratic debate from intelligence overreach.”

The controversy emerges amid strained ANC-DA relations within the GNU. Political analysts suggest the DA’s appeal aims to pressure Ramaphosa into reinforcing coalition trust, while avoiding escalation that could collapse the fragile partnership.

Neither the ANC nor government spokespersons have responded to the allegations. Observers now await Ramaphosa’s next move – whether he will defend Powell to preserve GNU cohesion or remain silent amid growing tensions.
