Ramaphosa – love him but watch him

This article pertains to current president Cyril Ramaphosa, who was appointed upon the removal of former president Jacob Zuma. It urges the supporters of president Ramaphosa to be cautious of this man as opposed to fawning over him. Although their likeness for him is understandable, some people are holding reservations because of the fear that many of the issues that need to be taken care of are being place on the back burner by the Ramaphosa administration and left unattended. Thus, this group of individuals is urging the population, especially fans of President Ramaphosa to remain vigilant at all times due to the presidents lack of political strength in comparison to the former president. In fact, there are speculations of the removal of President Ramaphosa’s removal in the year 2019 because certain people in power may lose their positions of power if the Ramaphosa administration is actually able to pull through for their supporters.

In all, this article is quite enjoyable but biased in a way. It is geared towards an audience with an active background on the ongoing political issues and parties in South Africa. Although the author of this article, Solly Moeng, tries to show both sides of the argument, they lean more towards the skepticism of President Ramaphosa by voicing their opinions in first person.
