South Africans are unimpressed by the President’s new trend of kissing grandmothers during his campaigns.
This they share, comes across as if he is trying to win them over for the elections. Pictures and video started making rounds on the internet late last year.
One social media user took to X (an app formerly known as Twitter) to share views about the matter, the user said:
Ramaphosa starts kissing our Gogos, suddenly he thinks they will win 2024. Our Gogos now know the frog won’t turn into a prince. It’s a frog. It was always a frog and it will always be a frog. pic.twitter.com/Ubvrl6xlHW
Recently, a video of him kissing a grandmother was shared by head of Digital Communication at The Presidency of the Republic of South Africa, Athi Geleba on her TikTok account.
TikTok users flooded the comment section highlighting, “He is very humble, but I will not vote for ANC.”
“This video reminds me of my rich uncle, when he’s not around, people talk bad about him, some even wish him to lose his job, but Wen he arrived, everyone wants to greet him and hug him, because he is rich,” shared another user.
One user wrote, “That kiss [laughing emojis].”
Another one said, “After the elections we nonexistent when it comes to government jobs, government department job promotions, housing, tenders, NSFAS, universities, service delivery, government housing subsidies, etc.”
Meanwhile, In just a few days from now, South Africans will be going out in numbers to cast their vote in the seventh democratic elections which are set to take place on the 29th of this month.
This is an exciting time for many who wish to keep their parties in power and those looking to give other political parties a chance at running our country.
In the build up to this year’s election, we have seen a few newly formed political parties such as Umkhonto Wesizwe (MKP), which is led by former president Jacob Zuma. The former ANC Secretary General Ace Magashule formed his own party after branching out of the ruling party, naming it the African Congress for Transformation (ACT).
Former newspaper editor Songezo Zibi also introduced a new party called Rise Mzansi (RISE). While Jacob Zuma’s son Duduzane Zuma decided not to join his father’s MKP, branching out to form the All Game Changers (AGC).
During the EFF’s community addresses, the outspoken EFF Commissar and Member of Parliament Dr Mbuyiseni Ndlozi spoke about Jacob Zuma’s quest for political power as he leads MKP, after serving in the ANC government for two decades.
