Ori_RSA Wait so there was progress 👀👀

Lies and excuses from the boy president. No progress have been made for south Africans. They are progressing with stealing and corruption. Now it's worse they have corrupted the judiciary. Fotsek with ANC government

The cheap criminal in this 'ambulance' is all part of GovernmentZA remarkable 'progress'..? 👇🏼 That some regional conflict in Europe is going to reverse 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😅😂🤪 FFS, what did we all do to deserve these imbeciles? Oh yes, we keep voting for them. Viva!

What has he done since became President?

Tell your mate Putin to get the hell out of Ukraine 🇺🇦

Fuck off!!!!

Oh for ..... sake!!! Is there no end to the stupidity and utter bull that this one brings us? What 'improving services'? Post Office? Transport? Eskom? Education? anc Run municipalities? ETC ETC. Sorry but he has no knowledge of what's happening in the country.

Progress is a strong word for what these clowns have achieved. CyrilRamaphosa MYANC MbalulaFikile VoetsekANC

he wants to steal nw hw can it be affected as if ey are the ones at war ..hey stop making excuses cz of ukraine war are you living in ukraine ...African leaders shld stop relyng on western n easterns countries bt concentrate on African countries we can do it

The only progress MYANC has made since CyrilRamaphosa became president is comrades stole for themselves and not for the Guptas! CyrilRamaphosa RemoveANC2024 VoetsekANC

Improving what services? If anything, I feel like SA is constantly servicing the ANC and we don't even get a tip afterwards.

Let’s add Ukraine/Russia conflict into the list of excuses 🙄🚮

Does he live on Mars....the planet,not the bar?

He seems to think that Ukraine invited Russia to destroy their country ! His very public siding with z Putin ( not Russia ) but Putin will cost SA it’s world wide approval . That’s what will happen !

The habitual liar again spouting off words just to stay relevant. How’s the new Yawn doing?

SouthAfricansP1 What improvements? Please elaborate... VoetsekANC

Services!? Bloemfontein is without tap water for a week now. You have to drive more than 200km to renew ID documents, passports and drivers licenses... which services is he referring to!?

Even a monkey can't believe that. SA, a country run on scapegoating.

Any excuse to blame the failure of the ANC on others and not take accountability: 1st Apartheid, 2nd COVID and 3rd Russia / Ukraine. It’s pathetic! Time for a new government!

Really what progress, he can't even run the country. South Africa is a mess since he took over.

What progress?

Details please... Im really interested to see how you logic this one out.

Which improved services?

He just loves the excuses he can use for all his detrimental failings! Sort out your country sir CyrilRamaphosa

Improving service delivery, which service delivery?

coolkat_1 kabelodick 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂there a new excuse from your president. Covid is no longer an excuse war against Russia and Ukraine is the new excuse

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂i like how media accept excuses from Ramaphosa. Yet EU countries are still benefiting with oil and gas from Russia only South Africa will be affected

If there was an undo button to get that guy out.

🤦🏻‍♀️😑

Just what gains have they made? Cyril must be smoking something!

How would we tell the difference?

What services There are none. The only services they give is to themselves. Anc is corrupt and useless hence no services. They only look after themselves and to hell with the citizens.

Tell him that there was never progress in the first place . So nothing to reverse

This ongoing trivializing of 👺Putin's WAR-crimes💣&murderous invasion🔥of the Ukrainian nation by presCR is just revolting⁉😩'Ongoing conflict needing mediation?' is his weak response?😢SAns should be ASHAMED of presCR's 'don't-giv-a-damn' & heartless💔attitude!slava Ukraini!🌻

The SA government does nothing to improve services!!

Cyril should just step down seriously

fokoframaphosa

The progress was reverse way before this because of some other bunch of nonsense excuses

Maybe this is the progress? Citizens doing it for themselves?

Wtf. Gone is racism nd apartheid being the scapegoat for the govt fukups. Now it's the conflict with Ukraine for poor service delivery. Does the President think we are stupid. The ANC govt always have played the blame game. But this is most damn ridiculous one

There has only been a steady decline in service delivery. What progress are we talking about here? Where does our president get his info from? Who is writing his speeches?

Tsek

It didn’t take long for that to become the new big excuse, did it?!

Uthini lo wempumulo engath I drumstick

Udakiwe

The sad reality is that it impacts majority of South Africans while the corrupt thieves in charge profit all the way.

Of course it will affect services. The fucking tides affect your services! You are not the moon and stars you know!

Seriously? Services? What services? Reverse non existent services? DontBelieveThis

There’s always a convenient excuse

Is that Free State School Library. If You Know You Know

Seriously sir ?

Excuses, excuses and more excuses but what did he do to convince Putin of his reckless and unlawful invasion of Ukraine?

And where are all these IMPROVED services?

Improvements? Is Cyril taking hallucinogenic drugs? Every time that Cyril opens his mouth, he is just changing feet.

🤣🤣🤣, did he really say improving?

I've truly had enough of all this nonsense.

runawayrene 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. What progress?

😂😂😂😂😂😂 Ukraine and Jan 😂😂😂

Hahaha. There’s always a new excuse. Covid , now the conflict. Imagine when there are no excuses left ?

Well, hopefully reverse for the better because there is no service delivery! CyrilRamaphosa

Ramaphosa is going to use every excuse under the sun to further destroy SA

This one is always looking for a scapegoat to cover his gross incompetence.

Go to iBayi. Been in my hometown for 10 days/ past 14. Many parts of it looks like its been bombed. That damage happened b4 Ukraine 'conflict'. Schauder/Korsten is filled with piles of garbage/ refuse bags. NATO to blame? Come on man!

He's talking nonsense as always

Which service delivery? Haibo this leader is leaving in dream land

And yet we have to celebrate this lonely days called holidays for what Mara? 😭😭. For poverty that is coming our way!!!

There was never any progress since he took over. All he does is lie to the nation on daily basis.

This one will use about anything to try and divert our attention from a shambolic performance by the current so-called government

Reverse progress my foot, what progress

CyrilRamaphosa What services? The ANC have made sure we have zero service .

I hope the next loadshedding phase won't be blame on Ukraine..

Please tell tht puppet to use BRICS advantages and buy oil from Russia with ruble. We can't suffer because of his been a useless puppet. He made us suffer during apartheid and will not be allowed to continue with it.
