"Your father embodies the aspirations of the poor. He introduced free education that has been deliberately UNFUNDED by the current administration. The facts speak for themselves. Be strong and be hopeful, I see the greater good in the horizon for the poor. Amandla!!!!"
@MlombiSisamkele said:
"Why using poor people to fight your battles but you never shared a cent with them? Why you don’t provide for the poor because you too have the money?"
@bmrian said:
"Vele uthule. You and your family crated more unemployment!"
@i_mohale said:
"The useless 9 years when the Guptas were governing this country created a big mess. It will take this country long before we recover. The former Proxy President gave a lot of chances to the foreign handlers. Eish, our beloved country! It is hard to reverse the Gupta mess. Eish!"
@SeaniMadavha said:

Ramaphosa urges calm in KZN as protestors call for Zuma's release
In related news, Briefly News previously reported that President Cyril Ramaphosa issued a statement calling for calm as violent protests continue to take place. He commended the police for their efforts in dealing with the groups of violent protestors who have damaged property and undermined the law.
Ramaphosa took to Twitter to urge people to calm down as protestors demand the release of former president Jacob Zuma who is serving a 15-month jail sentence.
Ramaphosa continued to post messages on the situation.
@PresidencyZA:
"President Ramaphosa says the impact of public violence against the road freight industry and damage to freeways that serve as economic arteries will be felt also by the people organising and committing these crimes."
@PresidencyZA:
"The President says the reasons allegedly advanced for the violence in KwaZulu-Natal cannot be used to legitimise vandalism and public violence."
South Africans enjoy the right to protest as long as they conduct themselves in peaceful and law abiding manner. Ramaphosa reminded people that their right to protest will be respected but only if they are conducted within the law.
