One would think that netizens would back Bonang's stance after many Mzansi people tweeted that Ramaphosa must resign under the hashtag #RamaphosaMustGo. That was not the case, as people hurled insults at the TV and radio hosts. Many online users criticised her because she was at the forefront when Ramaphosa was elected.

According to ZAlebs, Bonang and Ramaphosa even had a video call in which Bonang happily congratulated him on his election as president.

Netizens once again circulated screenshots of the video call after Bonang tweeted "Resign."
