"Cyril Ramaphosa must shuffle himself out. There, I said it."

"You can't forget Bheki Cele. He needs to go with immediate effect."

"Dlamini Zuma, Naledi Pandor, Nkoane Mashamaite, Blade Nzimande, Jamnandas, Ndabeni Abraham, Thoko Didiza, Bheki Cele, Aaron Motsoaledi, and not Mbalula. All the others must go."
