Netizens react to Gareth Cliff's jab

Many netizens flooded the comment section with their reactions to what Gareth Cliff had to say about Ramaphosa. Here's what they had to say:

@tmukogo said:

"Would it have been better to have had lots of growth and no transformation?"

@LangHansGloy commented:

"What I don't understand is if apartheid history is used as an excuse, let's go further back to the Stone Age. They had all the same resources. The settler used the resources, carved stone to cut trees and build tools, machines and infrastructure. Why couldn't they do it?"

@Rusty_Merc responded:

"Even experienced businessmen take time to consider investments. He's making it easy."

@GI_Irvin replied:

"Gareth, you must hold all participants of the scheme accountable, even major corporations. Major corporations were happy to give only three of these ANC fossils shares at the beginning (Macozoma, Sexwale, and Ramaphosa). Now we are here."

@sheug mentioned:

"Dreaming is easy. Living the dream requires discipline and grit. Most people don't know that, and most people are the ones voting for this president. The way we elect a president needs to change. At one point, we had the head of state who could not read number that has millions, thousands and hundreds."
