‘Nothing wrong with Ramaphosa wearing SANDF uniform’ - Defence Minister 'There is nothing wrong with what happened last night. He is the CIC of the SANDF'.

This debate over whether or not Ramaphosa can wear the SANDF uniform is ridiculous. He’s literally the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces ffs.In wearing the uniform, Ramaphosa said: “I am dressed in your uniform as your Commander-In-Chief to signify my total support as you begin this most important mission in the history of our country. It is unprecedented in our history to have a 21-day lockdown. Go out and wage the war against an invisible enemy, the coronavirus”.

“The uniform the president was wearing is that of SANDF, if he was wearing an uMkhonto weSizwe uniform, it would have been completely out of order and he too would not have addressed the soldiers.

First CIC I've ever seen that has zero,zip,nada in terms of ranking badges or anything.

Absolutely! Military uniforms are cool!!! They send the perfect message...

nothing wrong kuyafana naxa kudlala iqela lesizwe unakho ukunxiba ijersy yeBafana or Springbok csr ziteam zesizwe ngokufaniyo uba anxibe pirates neChiefs no akukuhle oko cse mele abeneutral

Soon he will be posing as a Doctor, nurse,Police and even as a Pilot

He is a commander in chief of the sandf I see nothing wrong from the president's side for wearing the uniform

We have bigger problems than our President wearing a uniform . He is our Commander and Chief and no one else

Everything is wrong

The stupid looks and fat guts really sum up the state of the country and economy

No there is everything wrong with chief comanda wearing wrong uniform.

MbalulaFikile wears a traffic officer uniform just making the traffic profession a bigger joke than what it currently is, the army, police and traffic officer professions lacks the professionslism it once had politicians wearing the uniform belong in a Leon Schuster movie

The People and the Majority of Voters Love to See the Real CIC Commander In Chief of the Republic of South Africa and Not some Micky Mouse Self Proclaimed CIC

People love to make suggestions while they fail to keep their own kids inside their homes. Only losers make a lot of noise.

Welcome to a country that is presided by a former spy,supported by the media, nd praised by those who want to keep the apartheid legacy remains. God knows I hate nd I repeat,I hate this basted of a president

people complain for everything yeses 😣

Obviously! It's only political jesters who have a problem with him wearing SANDF fatigues because they score cheap political points.

Just send the wrong message. No Mr President don’t do this. Can you imagine Trump in a Navy Seal outfit? No!

The Minister is wrong. Civilians should not be wearing army uniforms. The President is a civilian, he is not a soldier, he is not a member of the armed forces. Yes he is the Commander in chief, but remains a civilian

we are going to ware them as well. Thanks you Minister

khvnyi They think we stupid shm

WMC - ''protect Cyril at all costs''

Just like there was nothing wrong with Minister Cele’s example to the Police on what should be done with confiscated liquor...pour it out! Good to know that’s what was taking place past midnight on Day 1 of Lockdown

I disagree. We are supposed to have a military arm overseen by civil society. That is the white paper concept. CR wearing military uniform implies something else

Nqakula needs to retire

Khadaffi wore it and see what happened to him

Just because you say it doesn’t make it acceptable every dictatorship starts with a uniform.
