The Democratic Alliance has slammed the State of the Nation address by President Jacob Zuma last week Thursday.

DA’s Dianne Kohler Barnard has called on the rulling party and police Commissioner Bheki Cele to act like a police commissioner.

“Mr Speaker I would to ask the national police commissioner Bheki Cele to be reminded that he is no longer a politician but an employee”, Kohler Barnard hailed.

She highlighted to an occasion in which Cele appeared before parliament’s portfolio committee on police wearing “takkies and track suits lambasting us as if we were an illegitimate structure”.

Meanwhile Independent Democrats leader Patricia de Lille said it was an indictment on the Mandela legacy that South Africa had become the most unequal society in the world.

She accused Zuma of entering into a semantic debate about what constitutes work, while over a million South Africans lost their jobs last year.
