As you might know, Ministers were sworn in last night and a lot of South Africans tuned to witness this live and there were some interesting things that happened.
One of the things that had people talking was the swearing in of Minister of Sports, Arts and Culture, Zizi Kodwa.
We know that there were adverse findings made against Zizi at the state capture commission and fast forward to now, he is appointed as a Minister and the person who officiated his swearing in is Chief Justice, Raymond Zodwa, the same person who made findings against him.
But as we were focused on that, a clip of Transport Minister, Sindisiwe Chikunga being sworn in was shared on social media and people noticed something that led to mixed reactions.
Now, in the clip, one can see Sindisiwe walking up to Zondo for the swearing in and president Cyril Ramaphosa along with his deputy, Paul Mashatile were seated there.
As Sindisiwe was walking by, the president’s eyes were somewhere, he was looking straight at her behind.
And this was seen as inappropriate, but there were a lot of people who mentioned that what Ramaphosa did was totally normal because this is what most men do.
However, there was one lady who mentioned that the timing was just wrong because this was on National TV.
And maybe this can be seen as something petty, but some thought that it was a red flag, there were even people who posted other pictures of Ramaphosa where he is giving women the eye.
Then, there were those who said that this is his thing, that is how he, supposedly got the nickname, cupcake because there have been times when he caught a glimpse of some “cupcakes”.
Obviously, some people made this whole thing a joke, one person mentioned that the president was willing to give up some of his Ankoles because of what he saw.
Another one said that Ramaphosa is a man first before he is a president and maybe there might need to be more reactions to this.
One could say that the president was supposed to be professional because he should know how this could be interpreted by some people.
