Cyril Ramaphosa: The Emperor is naked and afraid

Six months into his second term, Cyril Ramaphosa has been labelled an “awful” president - who accumulated his huge personal wealth like a Russian oligarch on the back of a regime change. This devastating take down on his performance was delivered by independent political analyst Eugene Brink who likened Ramaphosa to a fearful Emperor with no clothes: a man who has disappointed citizens and investors alike; “who is afraid of his party, who's enthralled to his party” - and who has filled his Cabinet “with people he favours and some people he has to have there for the sake for political expediency”. Brink says Ramaphosa has “failed dismally” to deliver on his promises - but is “sadly” still the best the ANC has to offer right now. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
