This article is about the already fall of President Cyril Ramaphosa from glory, as stated by Mmusi Maimane.
Mmusi Maimae states that President Cyril Ramaphosa's honeymoon has already and ended and it was quite a short one to say the least. This comes after the announcement of the cabinet reshuffle on Monday, 26 February 2018. Musi Maimane's statement rises from the eletion of David Mbuza as the Deputy President. Maimane claims that the President has revealed his true colours by appointing DD Mabuza to be his Deputy as this shows how corrupt Cyril Ramaphosa is and how he has just ended his honeymoon of glory.
Maimane's said that although he had agreed to work with the President when it comes to the country's best interest at heart, now he is skeptical of that. This is because Maimane believes that the President should not have made DD Mabuza as his Deputy, but should have instead fired him and should've thrown him in jail as Mabuza is a corrupt man with scandals on top of scandals. He believes that due to this, the President has fallen from glory and rather too soon.What's more concerning is how the President seems to have also given in to populists and the Economic Freedom Fighters with regards to land.
I personally think that this is a bit too soon to b passing judgement o the President's character. We must not forget the changes that Cyril was able to make within a few minutes he was appointed as the President. One of the notable changes was the rise in the Rand as it became stronger than it has ever been in the past two years. His SONA speech brought back faith to many South Africans as Cyril promised to capitalize the digital industrial revolution along with focus to grow the economy, fix the country's mining sector, address education and provide free education, create jobs, especially for the youth and increase investment. I mean Cyril was the preferred successor by then President Nelson Mandela. He was centrally involved in negotiating South Africa's constitution. The list is endless.
I think that we should give the President a chance to prove himself and unwind his ideal plan of change and not judge him too soon and harshly at that too.
