If you 'Deal with' something, it means you solve it. So tell me how Ramapudding is going to solve the crisis?

phalla phalla

He has fokol to offer them. Imagine telling potential investors that he can not guarantee them neither electricity nor safety,

What will he do that he failed to do in 2015

No need, he left stage6 when he went abroad. What difference will it make. He did it previously (USA & UK and nothing changed. We are even worse-off, continued Stage 6

He shouldn't have bothered. He is useless whether he is in the country or overseas. Might as well have enjoyed his free trip

Probably worried that if the music stops playing (analogy) while he is away, someone else will take the vacant seat before he can get back in time.

He has never stayed at home during crisis before,why now?something is fishy,maybe it’s cause the court case is near by?

It's not like we must give him a round of applause for that. He did say his hands are tied therefore we should not expect anything positive from him. Loadshedding was here before Davos he did nothing about it so why the sudden PR stunt from the guy

Economy can’t grow with power

Oh man I hate Ramaphosa. What he was doing behind Mandela with whites his still doing now. You see now all things that Zuma brings back to black people, his taking back to whites.

Now he is talking he must not forget the houses he promised to Alexandra people and Jobs he promised to South Africans

Working? The only job he does is working on our emotions.

If he wants to runaway let him go

Where was he before the trip

What does Ramaphosa think or hope to achieve? I recall a similar situation two years ago … and here we are no better off than we were when he canceled a previous trip.

He has done so on a United Kingdom - United States trip but to no avail. In fact the crisis worstened!

Can we have live video of this meetings. As we are the tax payers and the people of SA. Open and honest should be this process. We want to see your books and we want your cctv to see what's going on behind closed doors. It's every person's right. Your our employees. Vat is tax...

Ramaphosa must just reshuffle his cabinet and stop acting like a scared president who doesn't want to hurt people's feelings. We can't wait any longer.

over 40 000 employees and nobody can fix the problem, and now want more money, let's start salary shedding at Eskom and see how quickly they fix the problem Eskomsalaryshedding instead of punishing the people who pay their bills.

Who cares This clown needs to step down. Bad luck

He is avoiding it cos he knows that he is a laughing stock... no balls or spine

He shouldn't have gone in the first place - just went to lie about the current state of affairs... Embarrassing...

He is over using the Eskom card.

Nothing new here

Anc must fall

Why? So that he can sit in his electrified office and express surprise instead of answering awkward questions in Davos?

Unamanga loyo he knows that once he left the country to go and play with other rich kids he will miss the court date and the warrant of arrest will be issued and they will wait for him at the airport we know how arrogant he is he don’t listen to anyone now akayindowo

Tsek

He must appear be fore court

He must appear be fore court

FIRE MANTASHE!!!! VoetsekANC

Six no nine,kuya fana🙄and o maka o tshogile taba tsage le di court😀Zuma ene wa mo vorvaya

How many trips has he cancelled so far? And to what end?

It is a little to late they had time since he was deputy president but failed badly nothing is going to change ESCOM is the SA titanic

He canceld he must be in court not for eskom

It is a lie. He cancelled for his court appearance scheduled for 19 January 2023. He can't afford to be issued with warrant of arrest for failure to appear in court. I'm sure he got it from his sourced that he lost court interdict case.

It is the right thing to do.

Can he also sort out the issue we have in Kempton with refuse collection. Heading into week 3 and nothing

The worst president I ever seen . A whole president siad my hands are tight .

Yes we don't have petty cash for your enjoyable expenses.

The beginning of the end. Buckle up people - the country’s collapse has started. Well done MYANC CyrilRamaphosa PresidencyZA GwedeMantashe1

He will stay and do fuck all.

More lies....probably too embarrassed...

Probably just an excuse to relax on his game farm with his uninterrupted power😂. 🔥🔥🇿🇦🔥🔥

Eu saze sahlala ebumnyamen wendoda kuyafana ugesi uhlupha ngsho ukhona la hamba uyoz groovela la buyakhona ukuhlala kwakho ngeke kuwphehle logesi wehlulekile yizwe mft

More like they cancelled him.

😭😭😭😭

Why? What wil he do about it?

His hands are tied... Let him go.. 😎

He has a criminal case to attend

Fusegi akahambe awukho umsebenzi wakhe lobaba uyadakwa nje lomongameli wena okhethwa ama delegates asw EC cape kodwa ibona abahlupheka kakhulu kunamanye ama province badlala oscar Mabuyane kodwa 2024 awusekho kude thina asiwona ama delegates Anc izokhala Lana nje kzn IFPor eff

But why is he an electical engineer?

He was here all the time…. Makes no difference if he went… he is doing nothing anyway 🤷‍♂️ this is not a new crisis

So we should be grateful?

Hayini

Again.....

We don’t care 🙄 we want our power back, we are paying bills for staying in the dark

Uhlalelele ukwenzani?

😂😂this president

Tgey asked you not to come you moron🖕

Still won’t solve anything, create a crisis when u have yo own “solution “

Why Mr Pres are u not going to Davos? Gwede has got u covered! With Mr Fixit…..l in attendance

Bravo! 👏🏾 Cyril Chuck RamaNorris. What a noble act. Mxxxx

It should now be considered wasteful expenditure, where the president is using state resources to travel to a part of the world to solicit investments in the name of South Africa but only come back with deals and pledges that do not make it to people.

Is he about to tell us they are working on a solution again, i’m out here waiting on those clowns to announce stage 8

Who untie his filthy hands?😐

How is this possible?

Dang it! And I was so hoping for a drone strike, ICBM or even a little nuke action, creating a beautiful lake where Davos's satan nest used to be 🤷‍♂️ So what is 🐿️ going to do with Eishgone now, that he has not been able to do since 2014⁉️ 🤨 Probably change stage 6 to 5 4/3 🙄

EQAMBAMANGA !!

Look at this electron saving the day, poes off.

but he said his hands are tight. This is the most useless person I have ever come across

His presence os as much as his absence

Good, SA needs to keep away from those WEF criminals

Useless trip just like himself he is useless for south Africa

issi778866 Crappin his pants about the shut down and marches.. Watch LS go down to Level 4 or 3 within 3 days..

That will be embarrassing but then again he doesn’t care

Not the first with no results then either.

Fear that there may not be any country to come back to?

He won't make any difference.

Honestly no one cares, what this man has to say.('honestly')

As if he cares 🚮

President Cyril Ramaphosa must cancel himself.😑

Are we sure it is not the likelihood of the court ruling that he has to go to court? If not, he can go because he will do nothing about eskom, just more talk like all other times

Mxm loadsheding to him stars today? What a hell we living in under anc

YEa propably because he cant look any of these world leaders in the eye.

He went to Davos knowing very well of the crisis we have at home, he went to Uk to gallivant as usual, he wanna make us think that he cares, ofwhich he doesn't, bloody useless bastard of a president, he must stop patronizing us, nx!!!!!🙄😠

Whether he cancelled the trip or not, it won't change the fact that he is a WET BLANKET. The most useless thing ever existed in South Africa

Not for the first time he did last nothing have changed Ramaphosa must continue with his trip only few months left for elections of 2024

He must go..... For him staying, it changes nothing. His presence is useless

Ho many meetings did he have to leave overseas rushing home to sort out electricity problem, no difference to ' mr Hands Are Tied '?

What difference will it bring ?

He cancelled to attend his court case

It won't make any difference

Who cares,I want news that'll say 'Cyril ramaphosa has resigned'and not this nonsense 🧐

We heard that story before, thank you for being his mouth piece, you must be getting a lot

I think this is about the outcome of the court case not Eskom.....

WEF is a scam led by the corrupt leadership of the West…

Let him proceed with his trip in peace

He once cancelled his trip from UK and solved nothing. Whats he going to solve by cancelling this invitation that he couldnt do before? Its either a stunt or he is staying for the court case nothing more

Amen… no Ramaphosa plz go to your meeting and leave us in the darkness. It doesn’t matter

We want the meeting with all political televised. We want to hear opposition parties contributions to Eskom’s problems. We want see leadership from those opposition parties.

What is he gonna do 🤷‍♂️ 🤷‍♂️ nothing, he's been cutting them shot and cancel others but thez no change this guy is a failure he must just give up and stop wasting our time he might as well go to Davos he's useless 💩💩💩

Why does he always seem to want to run away to Europe whenever there's a crisis created by his ANC

It won't change the uselessness in him though.

We r ready to cancel him and the ANC. Time to Step down from power that they uphold. We have become a failed state.

The DA has spoken, he works for the DA. He must send his deputy PhalaPhalaFarmGateCriminal cr17bankstatements PhalaPhalaFarmGate ramaphosamustgo RamaphosaMustFall RamaphosaVSZuma StandUpSA planecrash EnoughlsEnough Megawatt Park Davos
