Hi hey should never have stopped the safe of booze and cigs the queue for booze and limited sales hours speak volumes for their idiotic understanding of a virus
He's acts king of the Jungle and let the lionesses to do the job🙆♂️
It would help a lot if people could have stock up and smoke at their homes
Monate freedom free
Should have could have would have - but you didn’t 🙄
The dying of our democracy. shemustgo
No Cyril, you should have stood your ground
Checking to be sure he sticks to the script and doesn’t go rouge again
So who then is really in charge? Cyril or NDZ....?
Even if he had the loss of tax income at this stage of lockdown would still be questioned. All it has done is start a different curve this time of cancer through use of toxic illegal cigarettes. Hope they have the beds and meds ready.
PMgibanyoni Protest for freedom of choice
after an excellent start, the Ramaphosa government has lost its way. Urgent need to re-gain control of policy and messaging, and implementation
Hahaha 😂😂😂😂 isn't it a bit too late for the 'should have' ? These clowns though lol . Just give me back my rights to fucken smoke man danmit
I also submitted, but never received a read receipt.
And what difference would that have made?
Incompetent thug and stupidity in one picture. Bet she's got his balls in her pockets
Mr president you cannot run a country if you and your ANC party is always in damage control mode. You keep promising but don't deliver nou you are in a corner again and panicking ' Mmm if I play the race card it should win back some voters '
Not only us the government loosing billions of tax from cigarettes they now going to loose more by going to court. Give us our cigarettes!!! Stop messing the people around!!!
Yes you should have!!!
Took you a while to realize your blunder
Many things should of been announced and done differently .
Yes..Lol
Noooo... You should have announced the 'un-banning' of cigarettes like you originally announced before NDZ differed with your statement
The moment this happened people's attitudes changed. Smoking or not smoking. Now justify the sale of liquor and not cigarettes. Impossible. Liquor keeps hospitals full. Illegal trade flourish so you don't support your own
Weak Leadership!
REMOVE BAN ON CIGARETTES
Only one in this collective thing me trust is Tito
NDZ ...Cele ...Patel ...Angie ...we must still trust Now what all this about the false negatives in the testing process .. Yoh ..how to explain this to the masses. And now far too little beds ..eish ..we all had to sit inside so long for you to get ready All I say ..WTF
Whenever the 'cigarette-issue' pops up, people become heated like food or water is being withheld from them. It's cigarettes. And yes, you have the right to have any addiction you wish to have BUT don't act like it's a 'need' when it's actually a 'want'
You had the chance to fix ...now we have to wait and see who left standing.
Me ...I might be wrong ...but the only thing to trust left is in our courts ...we will see
Hikpikpikpik ...chicken
Only if they knew, it's R75 for those illicit cigarettes a pack of 20,desperate customers continue to suffer n this money isn't going anywhere into their cofus as government shame
When did he realise it was wrong, before the question or after the questions. His only admiring now?
Really this is an insult to any ones intelligence. It took 3 days to write a letter. Another 2 days to surface appologise for mistakes & that they have heard people, 2 weeks to say they are talking about it another week to say he should have said it. We must really be stupid.
Mxm u will vote yourself bayaphapha nobubi nxa
SARS will increase tax because of the lost revenue and every tax payer, smoker and non smoker will pay for this.
When is the Zondo commission returning?
No he said the president should have announced the 2nd ban, like he as a man has nothing to do with the situation.
🤣🤣🤣 Hayi Rama I know of a thing called African time but my guy you should have stayed quiet. That ship has already sailed bro.🤷🏽♀️
They are not serious
The fashion in which this lockdown has been handled is truly fitting of a 3rd world , corruption stricken and declining economic country ! So with that in mind you haven’t disappointed cANCer ! Right on course ! ANCMustFall CyrilRamaphosa
Hulle moet almal aftree, ver oor 65....
This is real time air quality 21.34 on 31.5.2020. Now tell me again how bad smoking is for you when the air you breathe is considered HAZARDOUS.
Who cares!!! Smoke and mirrors, that is all this is. Using the virus to take more from South African citizens.
Now the streets are selling illicit cigarettes from R16 to R140 cease gold a box of 20s, steyversent R100 a box of 10s, what type of economy are you architecturing
CyrilRamaphosa you should've sticked with your original decision, lifted the ban on tabacco on level4 instead you allowed DlaminiZuma to overwrite you, TWICE. I wonder why?
Surely it was Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma that ordered him to make THIS statement. She's controlling him, the cANCer
Whether he announced it or the telly tubbies announced it doesnt matter. IT'S ILLEGAL, UNCONSTUTUINAL and corrupt.
Hmmmmmm. Ya think.
What stopped him?
But where are the true reasons?
are els we all will start smoking dagga.
We all know who wears the pants and who wears the skirt in this country
Uuuuugggghhhh you guys are so two-faced just stop the ban and save some face😂😂😂😂😂
No, you should be the one to announce its unbanning...
So why did he not? Where is the thousands that objected? Only about 450 according to court papers presented by DZ. Have someone gave him an old slide seems that's the new excuse.
Left hand. Right hand.
chameleon where is your president NDZ, you will never be trusted, when you speak it only will be lies and deceit,
Are we still playing this game?
Please watch carteblanchetv on how investigative journalism is done and then report. Don't cherry pick what you want southafricans to see and hear. Report the truth without fear or favor. Many of your staff left emedia and I see why. You don't report government accountability🗣️
Hahahahaha circus
Yes Mr President, that would have been the right thing to do. Now, if you can please ensure your ministers are aligned so we don’t get conflicting messages when they come on TV
Sonder maskers,so naby?
Damage has been done chief. She probably has lost all credibility of being president one day and am sure that was the intended consequence, no 🤷🏾♂️ ( me being controversial🙈)
Why did you not Mr President?
By thousands of South Africans? Okay then.
I'm sorry but we do not believe a word coming out of the Mrs Zuma Mrs Angie or the presidents mouths anymore.... I'm deeply disappointed in our president
God bless Modiba and Kekana of supersport United. I cried
Yebo gogo
Why don't you announce the correct decision, we are all adults and can make the correct decision, youll did not grow us up our parents did , so why stop us from smoking, you don't know if smoking cigarettes is more harmful to us from getting the virus no tests province.
the_sengas really know how to make us laugh 🤣🤣🤣
We moved on
ANC is toast.
Ramaphosa is a communist, thousands of complaints 2000 they say. While 11 million voices are overridden by 2000. These terrorists are making billions now with the illegal cigarettes sales.
Why didn't you? Bullshit Mr President. Gogo pulled the rug from under your feet. Your party will come to regret ever making her a minister.
He chickened out and wanted to be the darling at the expense of the oulady
At this point I think they are just using an 8 ball to get the answers. What a farce.
Should have!!Could have!!!!Did not....🤷♀️🤷♀️🤷♀️Are you guys still there na?Sizwe siya perisha nina..Khanisimele
And then I wonder of the 454 wanting the ban. How many are her friends and family, as no one saw an actual call for submissions right? freedomofchoice unbancigarettes
Illigal Cigarettes booming because of the CigaretteBan SARS will increase tax because of the lost in revenue and every tax payer, smoker and non smoker will pay for this. Free SA
You are forgiven Pres. RamaPhoristos
Dlamini-Zuma has completely crushed Squirrel's nuts. I wish I had half her skills at running a man.
Oh please god, give this guy a backbone
out of a nation of 50plus million... 2000 objections is not a flurry.. he must continue being honest and just admit that he chickened out... Qha!
You should have stepped down as president and saved us the trouble of doing it at the polls! I am done voting for the ANC.
Millions!! Mr president! But zuma said 2000 people objected to it!! Now you saying your scientists have advised you? How many scientists do you have? 2000
Asswipe.
And so what?it is done.
You should be the last mainstream news to comment and post. Remember when your anchors criticize the ANC or DlaminiZuma they were suspended. Since the lockdown nowhere have any of you criticized. Where is your investigative journalism into these bans and your reporting?
Why didn't you mr president?
Some minister health wise u ban skyfs not dops wondering if dops don't carry a health issue u just burnt ur fingers by doing so
Good day Hope you are doing well,can you please help with food vouchers if you can. I am a student and I'm starting my exams next week, I stay with my mom who is unemployed and and my younger sister please help with anything you've Got, Thank you My number are 0637211184.
Let's concentrate on this
Stop trying to fake unity. She overruled you. Of the '2000' there were actually 1500 a third of it for it and against the rest other subjects. Shows she didn't bother going through it.her research unfortunately contradicts it self and is of terrible quality as courts will show
Weird! Factory pollution, smoke I have to breath in from low grade coal burnt in townships and car fumes I have to breath in not to mention Eskom fumes diesel fumes are not toxic or bad to our health or cause lung problems to millions of people in the world. Only cigarette smoke?
You should have never banned it in the first place
actually gogo zuma is grabbing the bull by its horns, CR must watch out this magogo.
What the hell is going on in South Africa? 😧
CyrilRamaphosa PresidencyZA Actually NO. I am sure the 'scientific' research council would have advised you prior to you announcing that it would be allowed. The question you fail to answer is what NEW evidence came in so quick that overruled your announcement.
You didn't know about it.
...𝑟𝑖𝑠𝑘 𝑜𝑓 𝑠𝑚𝑜𝑘𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑤𝑒𝑟𝑒 𝑟𝑎𝑖𝑠𝑒𝑑 𝑏𝑦 𝑡ℎ𝑜𝑢𝑠𝑎𝑛𝑑𝑠 𝑜𝑓 𝑆𝑜𝑢𝑡ℎ 𝐴𝑓𝑟𝑖𝑐𝑎𝑛𝑠. Thousands? Really? And they were exactly who?
No longer talking about scientifically based decision making as stated on record? No peer reviewed papers and double blind zol licking studies nothing but a personal opinion and vendetta? No responsibility without accountability. lockdownSA cigarettes
So NDZ has thrown her advisors under the bus with the 42r actual applications and now Cyril is committing political suicide. I must get her to talk to my ex.
Can he focus on the education system now and leave cigarettes alone... sell them .. dnt sell them.. WE HAVE BIGGER ISSUES
When you are in a hole, stop digging
But Cyril we know who got the balls
Too Late Dear😂
The right decision was made, that's what matters
Announce unbanning. And call out NDZ for giving you false information.
Protected by the masks of privilege and entitlement. Spending tax payers money to protect themselves, exporting masks . None for the people. lockdownSA covid19SA treasonSA
Let's all cry over spilled milk
