Ramaphosa Thanks Mzansi for Showing Him Love on His 70th Birthday, Mzansi Pokes Fun: “Dude I Need a Job”

• President Ramaphosa thanked Mzansi for showing him love on his 70th birthday, but most peeps wanted to poke fun instead
• South Africans were somewhat divided when it came to giving him well wishes, considering the state of the country
• Not all Mzansi folk poked fun, and some of them continued their thanks, but others were quick to share their criticisms

Cyril Ramaphosa took to the socials to thank South Africans for showing him love on his 70th birthday, but all Mzansi peeps didn't share the sentiments.

The thanks came through a Twitter post where he thanked the nation in multiple languages to his more than 2 million followers. @CyrilRamaphosa's message wasn't well received by most people, but some were sweet to him.

The criticisms hurled at the president focus solely on the many issues that the country faces. Mass unemployment plagues the youth, crime runs rampant and corrupt officials from his party have been implicated in scandals involving mismanagement and maladministration.

These issues inspired many of the comments South Africans joked about, while others were more specific and critical. See the comments below:

Mzansi man in total disbelief after paying R600 for 64.3kWh of electricity: SA people say he’s being robbed

In another story, Briefly News reported that Eskom had made electricity a luxury in Mzansi. Never mind the daily loadshedding. One man paid R600 for 64.3kWh of electricity – that is insane!

Prepaid meters have definitely made it easier for people to control their electricity consumption, however, there are still a lot of things that don’t add up. Like paying R600 for 64.3kWh of electricity.
