To disrespect one 'representative' of a country is disrespecting the entire country, mind you there are many Zimbabweans currently living in this country, would they want us to treat them in that manner?.

CyrilRamaphosa : When you got booed those people, were simply saying, govern your country by following the laws. Once you apply the laws then you get the respect you really deserve. One can still be African while they are in their country. Lawlessness must fall.

It was not good for our President and country that shows us that we have serious challenges to deal with it

He deserved it. Why was he not in his own country sorting out the crap he allowed to unfold

Ramaphosa wasn't there don't lie Naledi Panda was the one who attended the funeral don't lie
