The situation is heating up and getting uncomfortable for our South African President Cyril Ramaphosa who is currently in the news for all the wrong things. Some South Africans are angry and calls for him to be removed from the sit of being our president.
The current rate of increase in the price of petrol, food and transport has angered too many people including his loyal supporters and people who don’t care about politics. On the other hand former state security official Arthur Frazer has come with damning allegations against president.
While we might think that as a president Ramaphosa is a powerful man, there are allegations about his lawyer saying that Ramaphosa doesn’t have a backbone. According to reports a leaked audio of President Cyril Ramaphosa’s lawyer advocate Thembeka Ngcukaitobi who is also Acting Judge of the High Court, has been heard making a remark about Ramaphosa stating that: “Ramaphosa has no backbone.” It was not clear who Ngcukaitobi is talking to.
When things like this happen, it sends messages to the public that things are not arranged in order on the side of our president. As we speak one could say that the country is falling looking at the struggling economy and increasing prices of everything available.
However what his lawyer is alleged of having said is what some South Africans have been saying including some of his loyal supporters. But for it to come out from his lawyer is something else with a different message to the entire public.
Another issue is that since the ANC will be going to an elective conference very soon, this might be some moves being taken to frustrate and discredit the president. Everything should not just be taken lightly as it is. It might also be that whatever the advocate was saying was cut short so that it may be taken out of context to the public.
