South Africa Headlines News

Less than an hour after Eskom announced unprecedented stage 6 load-shedding on Monday, it was announced that President Cyril Ramaphosa will be leaving for Egypt on Tuesday.

"The official visit will provide President Ramaphosa an opportunity to engage with President Fatah El-Sisi on further strengthening and deepening the good bilateral political and economic relations between South Africa and Egypt.

"The two leaders will also explore new possible areas of economic, trade and investment cooperation in sectors such as infrastructure, manufacturing and agro-processing." Ramaphosa will be accompanied by a delegation of ministers from various departments, including international relations and cooperation minister Naledi Pandor, defence and military veterans minister Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula, trade and industry minister Ebrahim Patel, state security minister Ayanda Dlodlo and tourism minister Mmamoloko Kubayi-Ngubane.Why the hell are you there? Get home and get the lights back on!" one wrote.

"Thanks but shouldn't he be in the country at the moment, considering the energy challenges confronting the nation?" said another.

There are engineers working on the problem.He's not one.They said wet weather is partly to blame due to wet coal used in generating electricity.I don't remember him taking any machinery that dries coal to Egypt.Stop politicking.

.....now we know why SAA got money so quickly......

it seems as if RamaPussy is always running away......

Coward

'Deuces peasants'...

Mara this guy, living us in darkness to live life where there's light 🤔🤔

Amasimba we President nxxxxxx

Le dramatic hleng so president ke yena di Watts and Voltage. Engineers are busy fixing Medupi stations to avoid national black out they are the ones should be asked when will they finish? because its already Monate mpolaye season

Thuma mina is no engineer, what's he supposed to do to alleviate this electricity mess? He must go do what he's good at in Egypt

This Egypt trip is highly irresponsible. We are in a crisis. Humble yourself and lead CyrilRamaphosa PresidencyZA

Whoeva thuma him to Egypt while there is national crisis... must explain himself/herself

This nigga should step down already 😏

Go and do ur thing , they commenting as if they know ur schedule

In true cupcake form. Only seen in times of celebrations! Mxm

Good idea.. learn how the pharoahs generated electricity to build the pyramids.

Let him go...there's no lights in S.A anyway- but parliament could make a good bonfire if lit up properly in CR's absence😊😊😊. Anyone care to join me?

He runs everytime we in crises

If he goes there, he might as well not come back if that is how much he recognizes the need for decisive leadership at this time.

What value can he add if he doesn’t go to Egypt?

KhandaniM Lol, timeslive 😂😂😂

What else can you expect? Usless ancgoverment corruption

To fall asleep like he did in Russia and come back with no solutions

If Angizingeni was aperson🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I don't think Ramaphosa is a president but he has been given a status of being called President, there's someone behind the scene who controls every move taken by him, he is taking orders from someone else, we are yet to know.

He doesn't even know stage 1 mos

CyrilRamaphosa please cancel all meetings and travels and attend to the Eskom crisis, put them under business rescue immediately

You expect a billionaire to care about the needs of the people?

To charge his phone yes

Lo Cyril Wenu

I would do the same if I was him. Who wants to live in darkness?

Probably this trip was planned months ago & no one knew that there will be stage 6 load shedding by now. And besides there are people who are dealing with the situation at the moment. So should we expect the president to fix the conveyor belt at Medupi Power Station 🙄🙄🙄

I can’t believe people forced Zuma out for this clown!!! At least lie to us or something

We're in the dark and this man is leaving us...I smell stage 100 before end of the year.

Kuthiwa uyaphi wena? CyrilRamaphosa PresidencyZA... Vele usishiya ebumnyameni?

I also wanna go to Egypt Mr President, you can pick me in Randburg by the taxi rank. Please bring a big flask Soni can drink tea.

His going there to charge his phone

Cummon now guys Cupcake is going to tuckshops to buy Egyptian light bulbs

PeterP_arker Never been annoyed by a president like this one...

Thy say he is going to charge his device. Egypt has electricity.

This is what we get for VOTING ANC?

His going to charge his phone

Cancel that trip,

Nimthule angithi? Deal with it🙌🏾

WTF ?

Kumnandi ukuba wuwe MrPresident Recently you were in Togo Uyangena, jikijiki uyahaphuma!! So, you really don't feel what we feel😭😭

This dude is a fake billionaire. I am sure if the billions were to be taken away and let him start from scratch without wmc, he wont make it

He is pulling businesz rescue stunt again

Ahambe for good.iphi Cosatu

If 'baleka ngenyawo zombili' was a person

For real though

Nathi_MfokaJobe he creates shit and run away?

Sizinyisile ngalo Ramaphosa wabelungu

Well even if he was to stay in SA, load shedding doesn’t affect him. He probably has 10 generators in his own bought with our money McMahon

They should fly SAA, that way we might not have to get them back

Banyise nyi we Ramaphosa 😂🤣🤣🤣🤣 nyiyani!

He is not going to give us electricity so let him go. Maybe we can save some from his house.

Plz ndoda don't come back...

😂Wtf

It is time for the productive tax paying citizens to with hold all tax monies until the myanc are replaced by capable intelligent people to make decisions the current administration are incapable of even conceiving.

Mara this guy

Nice life problems

There's load shedding, the president is going to Egypt. What is the connection?

He is going to Egypt to break the last camel's back!

Aybo unjani lotata bethuna, we are in the dark for crying out loud

And we thought Zuma was incompetent. Ramaphosa is far worse and history will prove that. Since he has taken over, every aspect of SA life has gotten worse

tsmamba Remember when SAA received a business rescue? He was out of the country, something is about to happen eskom business rescue loading...

Literally - the lights aren’t on and no one’s at home

He has to go, how else will he charge his cellphone.

Cancel your trip Mr president. And sort out this mess for which up to today no one has been called to account

🙄🙄His is not the president, Pravin is

We honestly need a new system of governance. I'd rather have a panel of energy experts making the final decision on all matters concerned than a politician who knows as little as I do about energy

Hopefully with a one way SAA ticket. Good riddance. Does f.all anyway.

Why doesnt he come back quickly

Fizzy340 Haai it's too much out of country previous presidents loved to do that and did not survive their terms

He will be back when it's stage 11...Eskom digging out electric cables with peaks..

What is the President being around going to bring back the lights?! Come on.

What kind of a father that leaves his kids in the dark mara🤔

People are naive or simply foolish! The President is not an engineer, he is a leader who delegates! Loadshedding is but one of our challenges and there is a minister overseeing that department, stop thinking like kindergarten kids!

Always-Knows, HOW-to WORM his-Way, OUT .

I would leave too🤷🏽‍♂️

Well fuck him... Hope he loves seeing the pyramids.... 😠

I'd also be heading somewhere there's electricity if I had the means

Why do people who love money more thn anything not bother to have children?

Makes sense, why would anyone want to be in a place that has no electricity? 🤷🏾‍♂️ how can we be surprised...

This kak president only cares about money

SOS (Snake Oil Salesman) Ramaphosa strikes again, just as something needs to be done... he gets on a plane and leaves... So he can go sale snake oil at another place.

Bloody disgraceful - not an even one iota of leadership from the President PresidencyZA

Aowa bahn😂

There are lights there mos

Shwele ngelosi , iregret voting for ANC

Oskov that's what he does.

As if we care 🙄

He can stay in Egypt! Don't bother coming back!

I'm thinking that prez CR heard the comments on Twitter streets of how acting prez Motshega brought rain so he wants to see if maybe dep prez DD cannot resolve load shedding while he is in Egypt 🤔 MYANC

As I said the previous time I posted this, there is not enough space on the pic for all the entities that have been destroyed under the ANC. Use your own thinking to fit them in.

There might be no runway lights when you return.

Liewe_Hets Old “Nero” Ramapoephol! 🙈🙈🙈

CyrilRamaphosa I did not vote for you..to leave the country while we are in a kak situation. .now we are officially welcoming recession. ..

realMadumane What a great president running away from it's own people

Wait until he tells everyone about how 'shocked' he is about these new stages he has unlocked🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️

I even change the channel if his face appears, I don’t like this President

No1 one wants to stay in the dark?

Liewe_Hets

He must not go there. He must send his apology. Attend to domestic emergency issues. CyrilRamaphosa PresidencyZA MYANC

He's going on a excursion tomorrow. He will be removed

What kind of a parent is this? Galavanting the whole world and leaving his children (we)in the dark?

So you want him to donate his braai charcoal and briquettes to medupi?

CyrilRamaphosa run brother run

This man has no idea. Truly. All the “new dawn” cyril needs a bigger mandate garbage has been shown to be exactly that. Utter garbage. The problem 5 years ago was the anc. The problem right now is the anc.

Running

😂😂😂😂😂 I can’t help it but laugh yazi 😂😂😂😂😂😂

I mean who wants to sit in the dark, let me get out of here.....

How bloody convenient
