South Africans are amused by the ANC Youth League’s (ANCYL) Collen Malatji.

The president of the ANCYL has caused a stir on social media after issuing a warning to President Cyril Ramaphosa.

Malatji warned that Ramaphosa will be removed from office if he does not change the structure of the country’s economy.

“If, by December, there is no clear direction, we have resolved that I’m going to install myself as president of this country,” Malatji said.
