A South African man has sparked a wave of online support with a fiery rant questioning why President Cyril Ramaphosa is so focused on American politics amidst glaring issues back home.
In a candid TikTok video posted by user @fastrates2 from his car, he voiced his frustrations loudly and clearly, asking the poignant question: why is President Ramaphosa concerned about the United States? He expressed a desire for Trump to 'take Ramaphosa instead of Venezuela's president', highlighting the pressing local challenges that South Africa faces, including poverty and unemployment.
"Trump take Ramaphosa, please."
The TikToker pointedly remarked that while Trump’s leadership seeks to benefit his own citizens, the South African president seems distracted, stressing that Ramaphosa should not be preoccupied with foreign matters when there’s so much to address at home.
"Donald Trump, please leave the president of Venezuela. Take President Ramaphosa, please take Ramaphosa, instead take him, kidnap him... We don't need this man."
His passionate plea resonated with many South Africans, who took to social media to express their agreement with the TikToker’s bold statements. Responses flooded in, with users praising his message and urging for Ramaphosa to refocus on local issues rather than foreign interference.
