In recognition of Ramaphosa's efforts to fight the coronavirus pandemic, the AU Bureau of Assembly of Heads of States and Government appointed him its champion on Covid-19.

“The commission’s overarching goal is to support the president in his championship role to enable his continued leadership in guiding the continental response to Covid-19,” Seale said.

It was also tasked with generating evidence to assess the impact of Covid-19 on social and economic harm on the continent and proposing how to achieve a strong recovery. To address the immediate urgency of securing vaccines for the continent, Seale said, the inaugural meeting, which took place on June 22, included invited guests from vaccine alliance Gavi, the UN Children's Fund, the Gates Foundation and the Open Society Foundation, to galvanise support for innovative mechanisms to secure Africa’s position in the vaccine market.

What?

He deserves it.

Mans couldn't even build hospitals during lockdown. The AU is a joke.

Doing a pretty good trying to kill as many SAs as possible. If he was doing a great job half of our people will be vaccinated by now.

That's the problem in life: we reward efforts, not results.

Oooooh fok and the money his govt has stolen

ThumaMinaMediaGroup 😂😂😂

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Champion madoda 😂😂 what B.S is this

The bar is set very low in Africa!

😂😂😂🤣🤣Whaaaaaaat?

Yet....

Ramaphosa a champion? Nonsense, the same guy who received an expired vaccine, then bought a wrong one, then after lying about the independence of the manufacturer jiki jiki the vaccine was contaminated, maybe he is a champion of failure to handle the situation

Ididi nje leyonto

No one cares about the au they do Fuk all apart from protect their criminal pals in government.

congratulations!

Congratulations Mr President 👏, Mzantsi is being lead, phakama Ramaphosa ixesha lifikile...✊✊

AU is a piss-willy organisation tho

The headline is just rubbish it should say Cyril appointed as a champion looter of the COVID19 Releave Fund.

The same one whose Health Minister have stolen money meant to safe lives? 500 bil meant to save businesses during the Pandemic is stolen under his leadership. AUChair2020 is in love with corruption to ensure Africa remains charity case of the west.

Wow wow!

Mxm

Haha, they want our money these ones.

😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣Ave nisifunza uthuvi kodwa, ngamabomu

As hard as his efforts are we are where we are at the bottom in rankings of vaccines administered. Could we have done better than we have, certainly yes!

Wow this script just keeps getting worse🤡

AthiGeleba Absurd

Champion

KBmanyobe This must be fake news

Hhawu Jesu😭

Why not Zimbabwe President ?I thought they're ahead in vaccination

They are hoping for the last crumbs of the R500 billion🙄

ANC government gives the AU $17 million dollars a year

Only 10% EFF don't acknowledge his work ethics in fight against the pandemic

Imaginary characters

I disagree we can't vaccinate citizens cause there's no plan from his Government

Can the champion give us weekly family meetings... Not just lockdown ups and downs

Why? His administrations screwed up the vaccine rollout here in SA

🤣🤣🤣🤣

Insane...the vaccination process is a mess, no movement no action no plan yet they recognize a failure👎👎👎

Africa has shitty leadership.

VoetsekANC

J&J must be happy it's going to the whole continent without a competition from the east or Russia.

🤣🤣🤣 wow

😂😂😂😂 nah shit like this doesn’t hurt anymore, it’s actually funny

If Korobela was a person

This is meant to be a joke, right? 🤣🤣🤣

The C in Cyril is for ComedyCentral.

🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂

🤣🤣 'champion'

Fools hoping to receive donations of expired vaccines like before.

😂😂😂😂 Is this for real or what?

Only in Africa we praise mediocrity

The bar was clearly low🤮🤮🤮

Politically he is indeed

🙆🏾‍♀️Covid what what? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂OMG 🙆🏾‍♀️

😂😂😂😂 champion of lies and misinformation.

What joke 🤣🤣🤣🤣

👀

This is funny 😄

Lol

🤣🤣🤣

What is he championing?

Rubbish it is because his country is the most affected. And they know that he is the agent of WMC and he will go and beg for money

South Africa under Cyril Ramaphosa's MYANC dealing with Covid and Lockdowns: First out the gate, last over the finish line. Give the man a Medal...🎖

🤣 eish

😂😂😂😂😂 what a joke

Masepa fela

He is honored for growing covid-19 in South Africa and for allowing those with pink colors to spread it..

I can only wonder in shock how those who gave him this recognition are doing in their respective countries. I am very very very afraid for their countries' citizens.

Ya vele, his probably their role model, he managed to evaporate R500billion and the media never questioned him, what a legend they must think...

But he lost his iPad it was there somebody took it!🤣🤣🤣

My president 🖤 💚 💛 LeadUsMatamela

Champion? Championing dismal failure of biblical catastrophic pandemic proportions…hehehehe

Haysuka kholonto aph

Congratulations to the President

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😂🤣😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

🤣🤣🤣🤣 A champion of a scumndemic

Jokes write themselves. Welcome to the jungle

Lead us matamela

...ha...ha...ha and this...vaccine rollout way behind other countries and people dying like flies!...hospitals not able to cope... Fighting within his party and his people seen gathering in large numbers without masks...

He is rewarded for looking after Africa in other ways and certainly not for his achievements in South Africa in the fight against COVID. Cyril, like Malema has his sights set on ruling Africa. South Africa is just there to just provide the platform for their grandiose ambitions.

What a Joke

How does he buy all these appointments? Maybe he tell these useless African leaders to export their poverty to SA in exchange of all these posts. Anyway he will have a thick obituary

🤣🤣🤣🤣🙈🙈🙈My goodness, the persistence though. What effort has he done when he failed at al his roll out pans and vaccines approvals and making citizens sick? It must have been a good day on this photoshoot. You declared to protect him at all costs. You're going to hell.

I don't know nkosi I really don't

😂😂😂🤣😅

🤮🤮🤮

You look shocked cuz your hatred for him is clouding your ability to see his efforts in fighting this pandemic. But the world can see it. Congratulations Mr Ramaphosa

define CHAMPION?🤔

What in the hell is actually going on this is absolutely ridiculous and I cannot even vaccinate the South African population

Our standard is very low

Champion yamasimba

Well done Mr President

Puppets looking out for each other, Cyril is a bigger puppet cause he implements without fear or favour and other puppets looked up to him, that's the reason for appointment 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

Mampara of the year award is what he deserves!!!

Lmao this is painful to watch😭😭😭🙆🏾‍♀️🙄🙄🙄

🙆🏽‍♂️

What lolololo

😂😂😂...hidden message in this '...the boy Ramaphosa is pushing our Covid numbers...the only African Leader 🤡 who dances 2 our tune'

Struggling with him being 'Covid-19 Champion' .... Really? While 3rd wave is wreaking havoc in his own country with poorly planned vaccinations and hostitals with no hospital beds. Billions of Rands looted by his Government.... Yerrrr

Wtf😔

Just when I was thinking that Africa is rising up..🤣

Bullshit!!!!

It's June fool's day, as in April fool's day

And in his country they're busy pulling out negative things about him,they don't even see the goods his doing for them, big up my President, you are not alone and your hard work is highly appreciated especially in fighting Covid-19

I honestly thought this was a joke. The AU needs overhauling. It’s time we deal with matters in a realistic manner.

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

I got a strong deep seated belief that they didn't mean it l think they were joking with him if something then they don't know him

As a water boy, you can't do wrong when it comes to the media

Ntzarkee Halala!

The jokes employ jokes and the continent remains a circus.

They were impressed by his million graves scam
