The coronavirus pandemic has been described as a litmus test for President Cyril Ramaphosa SABCNews

Professor Ndletyana says the President's leadership and negotiation style has been fruitful for the nation.pandemic has been described as a litmus test for President Cyril Ramaphosa. His leadership has already been a point of discussion since the outbreak of the lethal virus. The President’s political history shows him as a consultative leader who negotiates widely before making a decision.

But now one political analyst believes Ramaphosa has been decisive in closing borders and instituting a national shutdown. “I would have hoped the President would have led like this for the past two years and not wait for a catastrophe of this kind to provide the stern and decisive leadership hopefully this is something he will continue into the future because as soon as this thing passes the problems are going to be even more.

“This is one of those instances when consultations because when you shut down the economy you involve a whole lot of people, business, labour and services as well, especially at a crisis like this, government alone cannot do this, the government doesn’t have money, so you have a business that might run out of money and business and retrenchments might be around the corner.”

So Stratcom, WMC & Clever blacks are celebrating Cyril for the lockdown? Despite other countries having done that & more swiftly long before him? Despite numbers of infections approaching 1000? They are really desperate to position their man.

And he has passed with flying colours. Imagine if a dictator had presided over the presidency during this period, 21 days would have been 21 years🙃

This anal (IST) is a joke.....I bet no same person takes him seriously
