@ModisakengMusa said:

"The cow simply had to rise towards his side and break his hand!"

"#MustBeNice being able to afford to purchase a cow that costs more than what we earn per annum."

@ExtremeNaheem said:

"So the EFF's strategy was to hide in their houses when the action was happening and then come out afterwards looking for cheap votes?"

Ramaphosa's name among 14 heads of state whose numbers were 'leaked'

In related news, Briefly News previously reported that President Cyril Ramaphosa is among a group of 14 heads of state and government members who were selected as people of interest by clients of NSO Group (an Israeli spyware company). The news was revealed in a press release issued by Amnesty International.

The press release suggested that there were a number of world leaders who might have had their smartphones hacked by the NSO Group's Pegasus Spyware. The release stated that there was new evidence which was uncovered by the Pegasus Project.

Amnesty International's Sheila Mohamed called the revelation 'unprecedented' and stated that it sent a chill down the spines of world leaders.

SABC News reported that Amnesty hinted that they were similar actions that were made against journalists and activists and it is now clear that the highest levels in government cannot get away from the so-called 'sinister' spread of the NSO's spyware.

The group continued by explaining that the database has 'no relevance' to the company.
