Watch | Schoolgirl, 8, lost for words as Cyril Ramaphosa walks into her class.

When Ramaphosa walked in, the girls jumped into the air and clapped for their lives, in sheer disbelief that he was in their presence.

Addressing the girls, he said his visit to the class was made possible by Daisy Ngedle's, 8, now-famous letter to him.Before he arrived, the girls had been waiting impatiently for what they believed would be a Skype call with the president. Hands shot into the air as they all took turns asking him questions about his life and presidency.

Daisy, however, seemed to run out of words in surprise, but quickly recovered and asked him how many children he had. Any contribution to fulfilling the dreams of a child is the highest calling. Daisy from Buffalo City wrote to me asking if little girls can become Presidents. Her optimism for our country affirms my belief in the indomitability of the human spirit.

Nothing sinister about nationalising Reserve Bank, says Cyril RamaphosaThe president says changing the central bank’s ownership will not necessarily affect its independence It’s just another waste of money on a futile policy choice. Giving the ANC led government the power to print money sounds pretty sinister to me... Highly contradictory! What a pity.

It's SO obvious 🤮 That's why he's done SO much since taking office to protect women and children from violence 🙄🙄 I see you quick to attack Mampintsha but did CyrilRamaphosa or Bathabile or ANWCYL ever issued a Statement on PuleMabe ZiziKodwa and Gygabite? Cowards MYANC Condemning crime against women isn't enough. Drastic Action needs to be taken against these criminals.Women keep being beaten up,raped and killed on a daily basis while Mr President is just condemning the crime!!That's not nearly enough!!
