President Cyril Ramaphosa’s popularity appears to have saved the ANC as some voters split their votes, choosing him in the national ballot but snubbing his party in the provincial vote.

Gallo Images

A trend in which voters split their national and provincial votes, in support of Ramaphosa nationally, emerged in Gauteng, the Western Cape, KwaZulu-Natal and Mpumalanga, with more than half of all voting districts declared by Thursday night.

CyrilRamaphosa we are tired of your meaningless fluent English, a capitalist approach will turn SA into flames cause of protest and your white masters will advice you to use maximum force hence a civil unrest. We don’t want handouts or jobs, we want independence and power(land)

don’t make your opinion news. Give us facts and stop manipulating people just because you can. CyrilRamaphosa will not finish his term, he is playing for the wrong team people are woke now it ain’t 94.

Where are you getting this? Who’s your source

ANC support dropped in all 9⃣ provinces, stop insulting our intelligence 🙄 SAElections2019

It's the opposite, you fools! The are more votes in the provinces as there are nationally except in counter-revolutionary Gauteng. If you are, don't think we are all dumb

Could that be where most of the spoilt ballots come from?

How can you bring us 15% vat,loadshedding and petrol price hike and expect more than 60% votes mara

White ppl likes Ramaloadshedding but they didn’t vote ANC they have voted for FF+

I thought in SA people vote for parties......I agree Ramaphosa is excellent for ANC and there are people who voted ANC because he leads it. One can't discount the power in the brand of ANC.

I like him.

Be careful of your praises of this guy. Politicians are the same. He will loot and you wont write about it. Lets continue to be objective and critical. He is not perfect and not bigger than anc.

This cannot be correct. At national level anc got less than 60% whereas it got more than 70% in some provinces, therefore voters voted for anc not an individual. If anything, ramaposa may have caused a decline in anc votes because of his unpopularity

😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣 rubbish is that why the national vote is lower than that of provinces

Your propaganda won’t work, the numbers are proof, Zuma remains more popular than him 😂🤣😂🤣😂

Peter28663946 Question is whether he will clean corruption or do a political dance? Pretending to clean?

I voted ANC cos I love it and it's the best political party in Mzansi no matter who's leading it!!

Sick Times Live!

in your dreams he did but truth be told the anc has lost votes

😂😂😂 Media will protect Ramaphosa at all cost, I wonder why... More reasons not to trust Ramaphosa

Thats an assumption. What popularity, look at the voters turnout, very poor.

MosalaChalale Indeed we did

You lost it again and again some vote because of Cyril others vote ANC as a party and the 2017 December Nasrec resolution to be implemented the Times don't insult our intelligence

Yep same here.

RediTlhabi Not forgetting a bloated cabinet

RediTlhabi But will he be able to cut the dead wood and corrupt comrades?

More like 'shocking' promises

had it not Cyril ANC would be history, pasop vir die hond

That's a lie. If anything it was the opposite.. He's popular with you.

RediTlhabi Let him form his own party and name it Ramaphose and see how factual you are.

RediTlhabi Do you believe the nonsense you write sometimes

ThonisileG Le media yenu udoti wento

Decrease cabinet

Do not make him bigger than the party, you are not helping him in his huge task, after all this praise!!! if P Cyril popularity have saved the ANC? what about foot soldiers? going door to door, mall's corners, rallies, Zuma in KZN. The ANC have chosen well.

I love Matomela.

You are trying too hard to make him look popular, the ANC has more votes nationally because many people voted in a different province from where they registered, the ANC is going to lose 21 seats nationally making him the worst performing ANC president in democratic elections

I agree coz I also voted for it bcoz of him.... But he must watch out, I don't trust Ace and Zuma... Those criminals are out to get him...

The EFF won on Facebook election

Empirical evidence is needed to arrive at that conclusion. Electorate behavior is still unknown entity

RediTlhabi I voted for the ANC cause of him.I want to give him a chance to fix and renew our movement.He deserves that.

Says Bossa?

ThumaMina did NOT save the ANC ..

You changing the tune now, cause ANC declines

Media is saving the face of its lover

And how did he save the ANC Yoh

That's what I did exactly. I voted ramaphosa nationally and udm provincially. We don't like the ANC but I like ramaphosa

RediTlhabi Exactly what I did!! Split my vote..

zuma did way better fools

Ave nimdatha lombhemu. Niqe nibhale amaqanda abolile nje kuba nifuna athandwe ngabantu yenzele nizomsebenzisa kahle.👎

Yes Ramaphosa indeed saved the African national congress but the question is will he be able to clean his rotten organisation? The reason why they are not doing so well is corruption and it must be stopped

It’s a fact-Cyril saved the ANC ! I voted ANC nationally & IFP provincially.Most of my friends too,ANC nationally & EFF provincially,Gauteng. P. Mashatile,D.Makhura, Mike Maile & Others, have shortchanged the people of GP, e.g. where’s the Alex Renewal Project Funds? Looted neh?

The Judas Goat has done his job and let the faithful to their death. Shame SA, I hope I’m wrong and you don’t live to regret it.

So 57% from 62% is a good performance? Cyril and his team failed dismally to convince people to vote for them. It's major decrease in terms of numbers. I'm sure more than 2 million didn't vote for the ANC compared to 2014 and you call it 'saved' 😂😂😂

This just confirms that media loves CyrilRamaphosa period......change if tune to make him look as Modimo wa ANC

ANC & it's President CyrilRamaphosa are ONE ! Only a an underhand of a ' Third Force' is can peddle a sponsored view about CyrilRamaphosa. Celebrate ElectionResults2019

Stop lying.Why is the Anc battling to reach 57% nationally if Ramampipi saved the Anc?
