South Africans don't believe Ramaphosa
Netizens poked fun at Ramaphosa and laughed at the woman. Some even suggested that she was laughing at the president's promise.
Name can be blank said:
"She's laughing her lungs out, yet she's sitting at home with a degree paid for by the taxpayers through the useless government, a very useless government."
uSandz asked:
"Y'all still fall for this?"
T suggested:
"One of two possibilities: they arranged this discussion word for word or selected a favourable discussion. Where are the videos where people ask about ANC corruption? Cyril is just another liar."
Kwazi.M wrote:
"After the elections, it's back to default settings. You will be home for another of his terms."
Alejandra added:
"Suddenly, he became a Jehovah's Witness, knocking door-to-door."
Jaytay exclaimed:
"The lip service had this evil force accompanying it. People agree to anything he says."
