“Once again we find ourselves drowning in a pool of tears along with our fears and a reminder that our cries for help fall on deaf ears.”

In the video, an emotional Jephtas addresses Ramaphosa: “Dear Mr President, no I think I will call you Cyril, because what a president would do is hear the cries of help of his nation.

“Once again we find ourselves drowning in a pool of tears along with our fears and a reminder that our cries for help fall on deaf ears. Like fine wine, blood is still flowing from our bodies and I hope that it drips and drips onto your fancy suit and that the stain is impossible to get out ...”Thank you for being the truth and for being a voice to the voiceless.”“What had prompted me was simply my anger for nothing being done and another senseless death.

“The fight will continue. I just hope he is human enough to actively make change in this country and not just talk and give cute speeches to silence the masses,” she said.
