[@boutrosnen6471]

Really love Siphamandla's professionalism and interview style! Watching his career closely and wish him well!

[@siyandamthembu980]

This guy is a brand himself... Very articulate and eloquent with the state of affairs of what is at hand... He really knows his story

[@evanderkulute2895]

Thanks Sihle Zikalala go higher steps are waiting for you one day we have a hope to c u as a President of ANC

[@simamkelefatuse7791]

We ought to give credit to Sihle for not waiting for things to get ugly before he leaves. At least, there was no drama.

[@pearlmotake5605]

I must admit that has been tougher for him ..having to do this kind of interview on his birthday. He is a tough 1 to crack I am proud of him .💯 He(Mr Zikalala) managed to compose himself perfectly well.

[@eliasmaponya7063]

Sihle Zikalala worked hard for people of South Africa not only KZN people, thank you so much for your contribution, he's the best

[@victormkhaliphi2778]

I believe Sihle Zikalala is one of the few ANC people who diligently worked for the people of KZN. Obviously, political moves are political moves, so he has to leave now. And his voluntary resignation is welcomed by me.

Bravo Mr Zikalala, you have run your race and by the look of it you still have a lot to offer

What Sihle did is commendable. He avoided to subject people in KZN to ANC internal squabbles. Let the new crew drive themselves into their own demise and get booted out of power come 2024.

[@leroyzwane2097]

I follow ANC government leaders closely, Sihle has never been corrupt, & uyayinyanya corruption that's why he is leaving the corrupt Zuma faction alone so he won't be tainted.

[@thefairobserver97]

I am a black person, but it is sad to see our brothers without brain! How can they say he betrayed ZUMA? Did he instruct ZUMA to use State funds to build NKANDLA's house? Did he tell ZUMA to create State capture with GUPTAS and other ALLIES? Did he tell ZUMA to abandon the Commission and make conmptent to Concourt?

[@junior.jonase]

Good move Sihle Zikalala. Leave voluntarily because Cadres are no longer serving people selflessly but factions. There will be more problems and in 2 years time, your name will be called saying you were better. By that time you will be saying it is not about you as a person but the position.

thank you for this interview. However I sense that there is more to this than meets thee eye . Mr Zikalala Sir has been kicked off by the ANC squad. You could see how hurting this has pierced his heart. It's like being married to the one you love yet you're being given a divorce for no apparent reason damn😪😒

[@mvelisimhlathi6433]

I personally agree that this fellow aka Zikalala has tried so hard to try and put ANC KZN together fighting crime...people will remember that before he becomes the Premier ANC KZN was leading the whole in the killings of the fellow cadres. Big up Sihle may God bless you

[@cebolenkosizulu4808]

[@khathurandela737]

The answer was very clear in silence. The Niqqaas in KZN Just made a biggest mistake. Kicking someone out who had 40% of votes at congress like that! Imagine how hard it would be to convince those outside of the province come December?? After December we are going to dissolve that leadership, just watch!

[@bongamamisagumbi2543]

You did your work very well, you worked so hard. The only sin you did was to align yourself with Ramaphosa while your people was against it. We will miss you Sihle your work was great. Please don't allow Ramaphosa to use you in dividing us as KZN.
