President Cyril Ramaphosa has lost the political support of the ANC and is 'very likely' to announce his resignation as head of state in the next few hours.

All indications are that Cyril Ramaphosa will resign as state president in the next couple of hours.

Ramaphosa will also resign as president of the ANC and will pull out of the race to be re-elected in just over two weeks' time at Nasrec. News24 has spoken to a range of senior politicians and civil servants close to the president's decision, that is likely to trigger a credibility crisis for South Africa.

He has served as deputy president and president of the country for a decade, and oversaw the"reform" agenda in the country to restore institutions and state-owned enterprises that were plundered during the so-called"lost decade" under Zuma.Phala Phala panel finds Ramaphosa ‘may have committed serious violations’, breached anti-corruption laws

The Ngcobo report confirmed the suspicions and found Ramaphosa had to answer the case for possible impeachment.Ramaphosa in crisis: ANC leaders to meet on president's future as enemies, opposition demand resignation This follows a marked sea-change in recent times, with frustration among supporters around the president's lack of urgency to take the fight to his political enemies increasing.

Will there be a president in SA who will go out of office after successfully serving his office?

CyrilRamaphosa i have never seen so many conflicting and indecisive reporting from media houses. Yes he is resigning, no he is not, he is most likely too.... While the nation remains in the dark wondering what next.

He must not resign.

This tweet didn't age too well...

All the corrupt RET want Cyril to resign. For what? Cyril isn't going anywhere.

Cyril must not resign Please Lord Jesus Christ Help us!!! There is no perfect politician in the world Thus President Cyril must not resign

3rd SA president in a row that was not allowed to finish out his term due to corruption or shenanigans 🤔

He is wasting time

At least we can get rid of BEE when this guy is gone

HandsOffRamaphosa

Yeah SA you’ve a long run with this ANC

It's been more than a few hours :0

My goodness! Ramaposa lost the trust and confidence of the ANC over Pala Pala ? And here i thought it will give him the credibility to lead the corrupt ANC, how wrong can I be, must be because he got caught.

Ai you know neh hmmm🚶‍♂️

🕯️🕯️🕯️🕯️

... let's hope he resigns, and also hope that whoever follows him is not worse, since that's what happens usually in SA Lately the Zcc's and the feminists are gunning for presidency, not mentioning the black puppets, those won't quit..

Ladies and Gentlemen in Africa we do not need to change Governments the more it changes the more it citizens suffered why because the new one will come with hungry people and the current generation will suffer the most Thanks

Lies

You can watch a match for nearly two hours and you might see two goals scored. For the rest of the time all you see is some people kicking a ball to each other

President stole his own money. Now, those who stole OUR money says he must respect the country and the law.... Laughable.

Hectic

Wow 😳

The resignation that has not happened

Well,he hasn’t yet,so your reporting accuracy and quality isn’t great

South African's need not fear a post-Ramaphosa SA. He is OF the ANC and BY the ANC. No ANC president has ever ruled on their own. They rule by committee. So will the next one. It wont be much worse.

In a master stroke, Ramaphosa simultaneously showed his 'commitment' to the step aside rule and section 89 process while drumming public displays of support while he is morally compromised. South African business and many ordinary South Africans have fallen for this sham.

We are the people on the ground who supports the ANC.Without the president you can forget about the millions of support.The ANC crooks are rejoicing but that is temporal as they will find themselves behind bars should Rama leave.Political party that will take over will not waste

Indeed he must resign

I can't wait to see him gone😊 under his leadership we're unemployable because of useless criminal records we had during covid 19 in 2020.

I hate DStv I cannot wait to pay off this internet shit router and move on. Yah it's been f$d up last season of this contract thank you 😢

And then DStv DStvCare does the things... you know I was always given until the 3rd or 4th of a new moth to make my subscription payment until I think I became the worst customer ever. On my way to pay and booom services are disconnected. Looks like this R50 reconnect is

The political support of the ANC doesn't mean much these days, why do you wanna be backed by a bunch of criminals. Love to see the fall of the corrupt. They must all burn in hell

TendzzXO As if it's going to make a difference

SA needs to follow a 100% complete, full, judicial process in handling any matters relating to the President of South Africa. He mustn't be forced out by the media.

Frightening - any takers for the position that aren’t compromised?

Lol... Political wheel turns at a high speed

The numbers of nomination for President talks to political support he have

Bitcoin for president

….And put again old madalas like Mentashe hahaha

John 8:7, ESV: And as they continued to ask him, he stood up and said to them, “Let him who is without sin among you be the first to throw a stone at her.”

Must resign!!!!

Still waiting for the announcement or the journalist was hallucinating

This did not age well

Should Cyril step down

Should Cyril step down

His calls are about to be ignored or better yet, be blocked by all those he was defending instead of firing when they were not performing!!

i think you were a bit over confident there. Stadig my boetie. Also for journalists, you guys do not comprehend that well hey.

Limpompo has also deserted hm

If the anc is rotten and he loses their support, doesn't that make him... the good guy?

Manass3hx This will mark the beginning of looting again…

sierraeyesalone No longer 'step aside' allowed but 'step down' Whipiii I remembered Malema

Where is Cyril now ? Did he resign for the chair ?

This country cannot afford to loose you president. We need you. Us people of South Africa who voted for you are behind you. Please don't give up on us, because ones you do then our organisation will be over about it and South Africa will collapse because of looters

You can't protect him anymore?

Khululeka

He must be expelled from the ANC for good, and can enjoy his DA freely🚮🚮🚮🚮❌❌❌❌❌❌

🥳

Let him go

Who ever wants him to step down has not think it through who will replace him we will be back to the Zuma Era

Another ANC disgrace....

PacheduZW other countries are just lucky! Or they worked to make their institutions work for their country? Phala phala is a serious issue but atleast as of now he did not steal public funds but kwedu ma 15bn anongonyangarika and we move on as a country. We are not normal!!!!!

Manass3hx

We all know the big guy is protected , next thing follow now media informing us with rating agencies, rand not doing well. And you ask yourself where have they been all along, just wonder.

If he resigns, will there be country left coming elections 2024. We will be looted to absolute ruin

Hawu lost support jwang when he tops the list of branch nominations for a 2nd term.

Yes😁Finally 😅

I doubt it. He won't. That one has that silent stubbornness

So if he resigns who are you guys wanting as President, cause rn there’s no one ?

Lies

If he does resign that would be the best thing to ever happen in South Africa during his term.

He shouldn't resign... People support an ex president convicted in a court of law but want to hang the current one to dry... Without even a trial... Hypocrites

samkelemaseko Sorry Mr President and big sorry to Fikile Mbalula sewumlwele kangaka Matamela aish!!!🙆‍♂️

Extremely unlikely

IrunSmokey

Welele!

We are very short sighted, this was always in the cards. Ppl who where incriminated in statecapture where supposed to be jailed from early next year, how convenient

It's simply Charles effect. He rubs your hands and you out

Yes💃🏿💃🏿💃🏿💃🏿💃🏿

I doubt he can even boil an egg...

We smoking that Cyril pack all December

Akahambe!!!!!!!!!

He must go to jail with everyone involved

He will not be missed!!

Drama, Drama🥴

Worst SA president ever

Phakama DD ixesha lisondele!

Dr Zweli Mkhize did it ,why can't he follow suit

Whoooop whoooop🥂

Wasn’t he their last hope

Ko laita Di cricket kajeko

Thapelo16398937

He can’t resign

With all the enemies he knew he had, how he could hand them a dripping roast in the form of Phala Phala is beyond me. He is the architect of his own demise.

White man is needed to lead in South Africa. Including the rest of African countries. White man will still but creating jobs for a black man.

ke tsaba december

💀💀

Eish

Funny Africa leaders,who only served in the interest of westerners

Him resigning will never fix the problems our country is facing. ANC is still going to bring us another tsotsi because they are all tootsies in that organization

Damn I wish there was a party that opposes green energy madness and the deliberate destruction of our SOES instigated by the oligarchs who wants to purchase them this would be the better time to get rid of ANC but unfortunately they all play for the same team

No way

Yay, can't wait to see which reprobate is appointed to head up fisheries and further fuck it up! Remember those FRAPNEVER APPEALS? Kiss away the thought of it ever concluding. MaritimeSA fishingindustr2

Any other heads of state on King Charles’ schedule must be a tad nervous… first Liz, now Cyril. 😆

I am not a member of the ANC and will never vote for them. But South Africans who seek calm and relative order should want him to stay. SA with an RET president is a total collapse. SA is persecuting a president coz his money was stolen. People can't see who the criminals are

he must voetsek.

Who’s gonna pay for the debt this guys has got us in

That would be such great news but the likelihood of this materialising?!?

Music to my ears 🔥🔥🙌🏾

That man is rich don't need the presidency he is a son of the soil loves this country and wsnt to save it ,who is this mister perfect that is going to replace him trust someone? We can only gets behind him and support him for the sake of our future generation

Very sad. We can only go from bad to worse. I don’t know why Cyril did what he did, but if he’s corrupt, what does it say about the rest of the party? The fish rots from the head. Anyway hold on SA. We are in for a very bumpy ride.

Great news RamaphosaMustGo PhalaPhala

He won’t iRandi lizowa, the ones owning the economy have faith in him

Leversmanganye All prices will rock the sky, petrol, electricity even food. everything owned by the white man. Why do you think he is taking so long to step down? He is the worst president we ever had in SA.

I wonder wich criminal will replace this criminal.😓

Can't see the ANC winning another election now. They will have to steal it and probably will. The Perth brigade was right in the end..

thusinio_1

This is exactly what the ANC wants, since they blame him for everything... Next year with elections 'new dawn' 😂

Ziyakhala ke manje

This dude won't resign, he will justify his actions cover up

Will belive it when I see it

After his resignation, he must also be interrogated like Zuma. He must also go to jail. We can't be here singing one song

Uvele ubone ukuthi weeh... 😭

I wonder how long it will take for the other sleazy faction to realize that without Ramaaka the whole party is doomed🤭 SA won't vote for a Digi vibe, Alex mafia, Sarafina stealing, Sisulu entitled led party. But let's test that theory shall we🤣🤣🤣

And which load shedding “Chief in Charge” do we move to then? The possibilities in the party is less than zero still.

President don't resign fight back

Is an honourable thing to do, thank you for all the years!

It's no longer funny...

Cyril Ramaphosa: South African president faces threat of impeachment over 'Farmgate'A panel in South Africa has found that President Cyril Ramaphosa abused his position. He's been accused of covering up a $4m theft from his farm in 2020 as well as kidnapping and bribing burglars into silence. Mr Ramaphosa has denied any wrongdoing. ➡️ Ok South Africa is very corrupt, the former president built himself property worth 200 million with public funds.
