A civic movement, Save South Africa has accused President Cyril Ramaphosa of undermining the country’s citizens by taking decisions that are anti-South Africans.

According to Save SA, Cyril Ramaphosa has proved once more that he has no regards for what the citizens are saying. And he careless, about the views of ordinary citizens.

Tebogo Mashilompane, the movement’s national communications director, said the president made a public declaration that Nigerian tourists can now apply for a visa without presenting any passport.

“We view this statement as reckless and irresponsible because, there is too much fraud and internet fraud, and this means the president has surrendered his authority.

“Secondly, Ramaphosa mentioned without doubt, that Nigerian products must be, on the shelves in South African shops.

“However, the announcement is regrettable because, we have many South Africans who are, still struggling to put their products on the shelves but the president would give attention to Nigerian products while emerging South African business people find it hard to put their products on the shelves,” he expressed.

Mashilompane highlighted that what also makes it sad to them is the fact that they are currently fighting the issue of poisoners consumables from spaza shop owners.

He further added that they believe that the president should have been sensitive to the current situation currently facing the nation.

Lack of interest by Ramaphosa in fighting corruption

He continued; “Thirdly, this one has proved beyond reasonable doubt that the president has no interest in fighting corruption and the corrupt.

“The president, instead of removing Thembi Simelane completely he decides to reward her with yet another important portfolio.

“As Save South Africa, we continue to be dissapointed at the conduct of the president and we reiterate our call that the president must step down before he, completely, destroy our beautiful country.”
