Regret only is not enough. Come 2024 we will regret to not vote for ANC.

So wena othi thina sengenaphe lapho you waisting our data ..mx

I'm really grateful for all the efforts you have render to me with my little investment of R5000 and with joy over me after withdrawing R60,000 with your help Lisa_berry77 thank you for everything you have done for me and my family Lisa_berry77

The pathological liar PresidencyZA CyrilRamaphosa lying and this is what he's going to wef to lie more about then take more loans that will end up in his white masters pockets in exchange for BEE crumbs...As soon as this fool is removed no more wef for SA leaders

Ok.

A president who has no solutions at hand.

He doesn't give a fck

What a horrific reflection on black South Africans that they ‘inadvertently’ deprioritized the importance of voting for a political party that takes SA’s infrastructure seriously (i.e. ESKOM) - OR is this true self-hate?

Yet not a peep about the poisoning. Cyril is useless. SpokespersonRSA

I also deeply regret that our president is a spineless 🤡

Since when do we have a presidential spokesperson? What are we – America? Maybe the president could take time out of his busy schedule to talk to us directly.

Angimkholwa

And what good is that to proving the solution, his regret?

All it will be sorted out

🖕🏻

Usifunza udoti went

Maybe he got tired of being shocked and started loadshedding.

I am not sure, but this response is really offending, cold and don't care attitude. The president must really improve on his posture, failing which I see him being forced out. I like him, but seriously he seems like he is detached from what is happening on the ground.

What a joke!!!!

Puppet

voetsekANC

I hope those who voted ANCParliament regrets their decision, for our countries current condition even more.

We regret that we do not want to hear about his upcoming engagements. GovernmentZA CyrilRamaphosa PresidencyZA what are you doing about this circus called eskom and the fact that citizens are without power for 12 hours a day and that you are crippling the economy and SA.

Julle almal fokken regret en apologise maar doen fokol nie.. 😡🤬Fokken useless!

CyrilRamaPOESa

We deeply regret the entire ANC

But what has he done about it?¿¿?

This is utter bs SA is slowly dying😡

Cyril is the weakest president this country has ever had, the man has no direction, no vision, no plan,the only thing he’s good at is lies… the guy lies, empty promises and travels a lot leaving the country in a mess

For how long will CR deeply regrets. How many times is he going to apologize. 2024 SAns must know where to put their X.

How about doing something urgent about it? Amazing how quickly political conferences can be organised, golf days organised as the country and its citizens suffer. This is not a sign of “deep regret”. Stop asking citizens to lend a hand. It’s time the government lends a hand.

They are clueless. We don't want regrets we want quick solutions

The biggest fraud in our system is this arrangement of “spokespersons”….

I can only imagine the depth of the regret of voters who gave him power. He told one of the biggest lies in SA history with that 'loadshedding will be a thing of the past' lie worse to a country without a coal shortage. It's so bizarre

He and his minustry are exempted from loadshedding, so how can he regret anything if he is not suffering like the rest of us. Keep your regrets to yourself sir

A President who offers lip service to the citizens of this country. We the electorate , despite the political party you belong to need to hold this President to account. Our country is collapsing in front of our eyes.

If he regreted it he would fix it as he was the man who ok'd loadshedding and he was the man who enstated the eskom board

Only regret!

The county deeply regrets voting the ANC into power and will fix that in 2024

He set up a warroom to fix eskom when he was deputy president in 2015. If the job was done properly why are we still load shedding? Or is that what he regrets?

2024 is far shame yoooh 😒 we are sick and tired of this president. Nothing good came out of his presidency

Action speaks louder than words.

Deeply regrets does not fix ESKOM and the ongoing stage 6 .On 22 July last year ramaphosa promised action. 6 months down the line he and cabinet have done f...all but we must accept his 'deep regrets' as a solution?🤬

Somebody please assist me with president Ramaphosa's phone numbers.

Also, we're gonna find a way to take away the money that keeps expanding every ministers belly. Paying tax to a gov that puts it in their pockets and assassinates you when you don't comply, we're gonna pull an Andrew Tate on yall. Watch the space. Notice the confidence ⚠️

PresidencyZA CyrilRamaphosa MYANC Eskom_SA themba1249 We need uninterrupted electricity supply, not some spin doctor to lie to us again😡😡😡 Loadshedding Eskom VoetsekANC

It's so sad to have a president like in the country. Our youth forgot that future of this country depends on us, ANC was for grandparents now most of them they died. It's time to forget about their legacy.

Eish as country we deeply regret to make him as our president we made a stupid dicision I once Zuma said NISAZOKHALA

I'm gonna comment coz I'm still a South African. Stop the bull. The ones who really know what's going on in our country, we're gonna work with them to make it better, the private companies. We're done with your gov.

So the mouthpiece is used to convey a message that’s got zero Sincerity towards the people of ZA, let the president stand in front of the Nation and speak and be accountable to the people of this Country.

I am tempted to say Voetsek!!

We know the ANC thieves will never go the green energy way because there will be nothing to loot there anyway they have backbup generators in their houses they dont care

💩💩💩🚮🚮🚮

Its a lie. He enjoys it because it is what his handlers of the WEF wants. He gets paid to ensure that an energy crisis develops in SA.

CyrilRamaphosa we don’t need artificial lip service Those days are long over As a country we need direct action & fast before there is no more SA left

Seems he is happy with the situation and surprised

Bullshit

Deeply regrets my ass! CyrilRamaphosa and the MYANC don't give a damn about us! They never have, as long as they have what they want or can steal what they want they don't care. Covid times he was talking to us and trying to control us, now he hides away from us.

Wow... thank you Mr President 🙄 Fix Eskom.. we regret putting ANC Clowns 👹 in government mxm

On the 10th December 2019, President Ramaphosa cut his travel in Egypt over power crisis, and again on the 19th September 2022, cut his US and UK travels over blackouts, but now he still deeply regrets the rolling blackouts that the country is facing, who is fooling who here?

We deeply regret having 🐿️ as pres

Come 2024

I never believe in earning money online before but since I started seeing different people testifying about Randy_Fxhelps ,i was so interested in investing with him because all friends who Invested have all received their profits successfully and so do I Dm 👇 Randy_Fxhelps

He is lying he doesn't regret anything. If he did I was going to intervene and assure us as South African that they are working on it. Now he can't even speak to us as a country sending his lap dogs come on that big nose punk doesn't respect us

We also deeply regret that he doesn’t seem to prioritize this and make sure it’s sorted - talking never resolved anything on a failing economy

Stop public engagements and fix the problem

For the fact that there's a load shedding App, what are we expecting?

Unfortunately regret is not going to get us out of this mess. More radical action is needed.

It is just annoying that these people always regret everything but never want to do anything about it. Greed has consumed to many people to care it seems !!

Now he has a mouth piece

ANC Corruption is killing South Africa. We are paying 14 times more for electricity supply since 1994. ANC is doing this to YOU! Time to pull these Cadres of Corruption out of their offices and mansions! Eskom Stage6 Stage10

Regrets not gonna help with loadshedding we need action

We deeply regret him becoming a President. He has been lying about fixing Eskom since he was a DP. He is heartless & cold, feels nothing for the poor. He is undecisive & spineless. He has no vision of his own. We deeply deeply regret! 🚮🚮

He isn't making enough noise about it, so I don't buy his so-called 'regrets'. Makes me question the actual power that a president has in a country... Normal people take action when they have regrets about anything. Actions always speak louder than words ever will.

I also 'deeply regret' the loadshedding that us ordinary people have to suffer. I also 'deeply regret' that Ramaphosa and his cabinet don't suffer from loadshedding

CyrilRamaphosaMustGo

Come 2024 Regret

Don’t worry the people of this country deeply regret having the ANC in power. Time for them to go.

Regret regret what is he doing to address this emergency situation?CyrilRamaphosa,PresidencyZA

I regret him as President

We don't care about Ramaphosa let him finish his term and voetsek the worse president I have ever seen in South Africa

Don't regret the blackouts, he shud regret still insisting on keeping an incompetent cabinet

So he didn't say it himself?

Magwinya the money laundering thieve🚮

Dont worry magwinya all this will come to an end in 2024 only.

He regrets nothing🙄

CyrilRamaphosa PresidencyZA doesn’t care about🇿🇦, they not without electricity, EpicFail EnoughIsEnough

If Ramaphosa was hired by a private company, he would be long fired by now

Then what after regret?

You mean he deeply regrets that we're not in stage 10 yet

After 5 years

His actions are that he doesn't care. All coal mines must be open we should be using the coal for electricity.

So where is the emergency action plan Mr President?

I deeply regret coming across this headline.

His job is not to regret but stop loadsheding

Vincent a tlohele ho bua masepa ka lehano la hae. Nxha!

Tsek

Only regrets while people's businesses are being destroyed

He’s paralysed I guess, kunini athi Yoh 🤣

A deep insult to Citizens. Where is the progressive plan, instead of regret .a

Please tell him we don't believe him and that he must just fix it and stop regrets. The economy is plummeting and with rolling blackouts comes job-shedding. Poor people are at the receiving end.

Hayi suka ilokhu ethi uyazisola ngesimo, akenze into eyodwa ngalogesi mxm, awuthathe once sazi ukuthi asinawo or balungise le nonsense yase eskom

I'm sure he does... in his well Lit house drinking his warm cup of coffee... generators running in the background burning tax payers money!

And yet there is a 18% terrific increase .this promotes criminality

If he's so sorry make him and the entire parliament suffer the same blackouts as we do. With immediate effect.

Welllll

That President is scared to address the people now is a given. Where is the leadership?

His shocked with his big nose

Some speeches smell like smoke

Mrateni kaofela and not protest at the union building. Stay home South africa, don’t protest. Accept loadsheding because President cares a lot about South Africans

We deeply regret the ANC

We don't need regrets here. Tell him to fix this mess man

We don’t want regrets anymore. We want a permanent solution. I have learnt the hard way that our president is a smooth talker.

Like he really cares.

shlama se regret

We need electricity not REGRETS, please.

Come 2024 bye bye to the whole lot

Balls

Nonsense, Ramaphosa is the leader of the ANC who created this mess over years. Now his hands are tied? Rather tired, methinks.

It doesn't show If he really regreat it We need action not words

Shame poor guy.He has to his job to lie 🤣🤣🤣

Maybe he should come to spend a week where I leave and see if he will cope.He has no idea of what Loadshedding is.

RUBBISH!!! HE DOESN'T GIVE A SH^%!!!

Blue lie the president where he live there is no blackouts he not even regrets

Fokoff

Doesn't he regret being President of SouthAfrica in the 6thAdministration?

It is either he deeply regrets or noted with concern or utterly shocked. That's CyrilRamaphosa PresidencyZA for you. ReMoRataKaufela

Really?

Really PresidencyZA

Deeply regret doesn't solve anything. We need electricity or remove is as a basic human right in the bill of rights

😂😂😂

How does he regrets then approve Electricity hikes? It doesn't make sense and now Bra Vinny is here trying to cover the cracks his father digged with a knife haii man

Aggggg he must just shut up, he lied to SAns in 2015 until now...haysuka

Tell him to step down, also to leave the country.

Lies

Did he really say that...or you did....

Pick a Finger! 🖕🏾

Re mo rata kaofela... re tsamaya le yena. Stage 10 is killing us now and all he does is regret
