South Africa: Ramaphosa Scrambles for Top Spot as Parliament Set to Convene | Firstpost Africa

[@manuelmodimola9732]

The ANC has shot itself in the foot by not removing Ramaphosa following the Phala Phala farm debacle. They showed a lack of accountability and self interest

I wish African leaders open their eyes and see... West vs East is eating Africa up. Some leaders must be microchiped and are working on commands. I miss Thomas Sankara. I love you cap Ibrahim Traole ❤️

[@ucheuchema1081]

I wish the African people would open their eyes and see, after 30 years and critically during the zuma "State Capture" years where things became just blatant, that voting for the same group of failed leadership again and again will not resolve their problem. Black Africans were able to see that the white minority government was not, because they did not, improve their lot and "kicked them out" but why can't they see that certain groups within the black leadership was not, because they did not, improve their lot either.

That's why its vital for us to join an build up our economy through the BRICS Nation, IMF an Western European Markets have abused us, now its conducive for us to do so, will have more control of our economy through legislation and policies that speak to the need of socioeconomic development and uplifment..it cannot be a CODESA 2.0 again

[@ucheuchema1081]

@@CircleSquaredProduk I think the real and more immediate threat is internal to South Africa. After 30 years of ANC uncontested leadership with almost a decade of shameful theft of the State by your own leaders (Jacob Zuma & gang) South Africa has gone down hill. Not primarily because of western moves. That excuse is a convenient and face saving story so South Africans can escape the blame they share in their own demise. you all could have noticed that things were going downhill and voted the ANC out of office. Instead, you all give Zuma and gang 13%? Have not had enough yet? Clean house then you all will be in much better shape to confront the west's meddling in your affairs. Please don't become another Zimbabwe.
