"It’s been reported that President Johann Rupert has given Cyril Ramaphosa a marching order, instructing him to toe the line & fire ANC SG Ace Magashule & if he doesn’t fire him then Cyril Ramaphosa will no longer enjoy the support of Rupert and his associates. #ANCNEC."
@DjNewAfrica:
"South Africa's king Johann Rupert has instructed our prime minister Cyril Ramaphosa to remove Ace Magashule...
Screw the fact that no court has found Ace guilty of any crime. SA is a monarch, and what Your Highness King Rupert of the L’Ormarins Palace desires, shall be granted."

"First, it was Koos Bekker with MultiChoice, drained SABC of its recourses & audiences.
Now it’s Johann Rupert with eMedia Group - he too, Ramaphosa’s friend and funder, will drain SABC of its resources & audiences Broken heart
ANC is a f***n cancer to society! It is up for sale any day!"
