# The DA criticised President Cyril Ramaphosa’s decision to clear SANDF Chief General Rudzani Maphwanya after his political visit to Iran, which violated the military’s apolitical code.

Hattingh says this sets a dangerous precedent, eroding trust in military neutrality and government accountability:
