SA Youth Shares How Ramaphosa ‘Played Chess’ With the Country’s Future

• The South African youth have questioned President Cyril Ramaphosa’s leadership style on many occasions 
• After news broke about an alleged crime syndicate in the country involving SAPS and other government officials, people wondered about the President’s role
• Youngsters on TikTok broke down how Ramaphosa “played chess” with the country’s future after being elected 

When Cyril Ramaphosa ran for president after Jacob Zuma was forced to step down, he ensured that he would have South Africa’s best interests at heart.

Ramaphosa has served only one term as President, which began in May 2019. The people of Mzansi have expressed their disappointment in his leadership as unemployment and the cost of living have become unbearable under his reign.

The people of South Africa have expressed that the president is just as bad as Jacob Zuma and the only difference between the two is that Ramaphosa is a billionaire with a cute smile. The youth proposed a petition for the current president to step down.

SA youth unimpressed with Ramaphosa’s leadership 

A young South African woman on TikTok, Seale Randzo, discussed how President Cyril Ramaphosa used the country as a pawn to gain power. She recalled Ramaphosa’s promises when he ran for president and his failure to deliver:

“You thought Ramaphosa was playing checkers, but he was playing chess with your future as the pawn. He came in clean. A billionaire with a smile.”

Randzo remembered how Ramaphosa promised to dismantle corruption and how he made South Africans put their trust in him. She explained that all he did was make things worse as loadshedding came back full force, unemployment rates skyrocketed, and land became an issue:

“Just empty promises while the board kept moving. He played the long game. He stayed silent while it mattered. While the country burned, he negotiated in the shadows, protecting his friends and not the people. He sacrificed the youth to save the ANC.
