President Cyril Ramaphosa says the discontent showed by workers who booed and stormed the stage when he was meant to speak on Workers’ Day was an indication of weakening trust in political leadership and public institutions.

He made the remarks in his weekly newsletter two days after he was whisked away by his security detail from the Royal Bafokeng Stadium in Rustenburg, North West, where he was unable to address workers because they demanded he leave.

“While the main grievance appeared to be about wage negotiations at nearby mines, the workers’ actions demonstrated a broader level of discontent. It reflects a weakening of trust in their union and federation as well as political leadership, including public institutions,” said Ramaphosa. The disgruntled workers said they could not allow Ramaphosa to address them until he dealt with their salary concerns.

The president has assured workers that political and union leaders had received the message and necessary steps would be taken to improve their lives and working conditions.

No, just the ANC ologopoly.

I'm shocked that he's still shocked that one. Ah mncm

When ordinary people say these things, they're dismissed as ignorant, until something like this happens. Operation Dudula has been called a vigilante group. Watch this space, as those who believe it's a vigilante group get run over by this unstoppable wave, and change tune.

What “weakening” they looked GATVOL. VoetsekSAMedia

He must give Public servants increase. Finish and klar

True

We are also loosing trust in media,judiciary and big business in private sector. Loosing trust is usually gradual while we take things for granted or enjoying comfort zone.

We lost that when you step in Cyril sale wehla ndOda

Everybody is in it for himself, Government are for government workers, business go profits, unions are for unions and politicians want to stay in power. You are the worker, are just a bitch in system. Sorry someone has to say it.

Workers such as health workers and others don't get increase for over 2 years. What did cyril expect? Workers must be happy? Fok off cyril..

It is obviously the government is not working for people its work for few individuals in the country.

He is feeling the heat

At first it was ethnic mobilization, now it is political leadership n public institutions but never about the one leading the country n public institutions politically 🤡

Workers have lost trust in Ramaphosa.

Can this guy stop with the denialism and accept that we do not like him.

The workers are suffering in this country and the unions are busy fighting faction justforcontrol

Why is he pretending as if he was not the one being booed? 🤣🤣🤣🤣

It's a weakening trust in him; and the ANC that he leads. He must be specific man!!!

Good it is time people wake up and realized that Ramaphosa is a the WORST president this country has ever seen..

OJay92122825 It is a final nail in his ambitions coffin of making Black people slaves for his stellenbosch handlers. ✅ Tok 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

No, it was the rejection of the failed ANC.
