THE VOTERS ARE TO BE BLAMED FOR LOADSHEDDING AS THEY VOTED FOR THE ANC...DID THE LIFES OF PROPLE IMPROVE IN THE LAST 29 YEARS? No only a HANDFULL benefited that is the Black Elite family friends of the ANC not the people.

He doesn't need to do us any favours. He can go it won't make a difference. Go enjoy a nice trip to a country that works, on tax payer expense. Maybe he will learn something. Convince the investors that you got everything under control.

Why is reporting that a president stayed in his country to do his job, news? This hero worship needs to stop!

No doubt, the luxurious high-class parties will still go on in Davos, even though the Pres has decided to take one for the team and stay this one out for the 5 days. Maybe he realizes this is the one crisis affects ALL South Africans.

My men cancelation won't fix travel for work and bring businesses to the country 😒

There is no need for him to go there, the problem with ANC is corruption, Nyatsis, luxury life, Gwede Mantashe should have been fired long time ago

Whatever

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

He is still the problem, nothing will get fixed until he is gone. He is the most useless President in the history of this country 😒

WTF he gonna do! His here and Eskom a F up.Go stay on a remote island !hows the solar power at your house Mr President? CyrilRamaphosa , you have a generator? The the way things are going with LS, this year i close my business and 16 of your voters will be unemployed 👍great job

Praise the Lord!

Cancel trip to Davos or not cancel trip nothing will change under new dawn

As if it makes a difference, he's been there since 2014

Does he expect the people to be thankful?Whethsr he is here or not,it still feels like we dont have a president... I hope next year we get somebody with a spine to lead us,not this camera shy excuse of a man who has zero plans... ANC n Cyril🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

MYANC PresidencyZA CyrilRamaphosa To come and do what exactly? It's not like he's an electrical engineer and stuff... Could've stayed in Davos, interact with other presidents and learn a thing or two.

How is this going to stop loadshedding? Whether is he around or not, the situation keeps getting worse. Useless this one, even the paid MSM and his paid bots can't do nothing for him no more.

He can go we got this and we are very thankful for 3 hours of Electricity a day that we receive and that we are about to pay 18.6% extra for such a great service. All in all we are very happy 😊 with Eishkom and His Excellent president Ankole.

He didn't cancel it for the energy crisis he cancelled it because he doesn't want to be in contempt of court...

President Cyril Ramaphosa can attend the World Economic Forum in Davos. We don't need him, we need uninterrupted electricity supply, nje🤔 StandUpSA Stage6loadshedding Stage6 Eskom ANC

I think he should just attend his Davos trip, it won't make any difference if he stays

He must just go to that trip,cause there's nothing he can do

How many trips has he cancelled and nothing happens

Cancelation won't fix electricity unless he knows something we don't 🤔

madness. This is not 1st trip he canceled. Not so long ago, he came running from a funeral in UK to attend to the crisis . Did he fix the crisis?

He is just afraid of returning back and not being pres. any more …..

Noma engahamba, awukho umehluko ozoba khona

It would have veen awkward seeing as the owners of SA's economy are all there. Their investments are burning in the dark

Sekhathele ilendoda.

He must be neutralised and dealt with.

Only domkops will believe that canceling this trip will help us on this Loadshedding mess This is just a publicity stant

Breaking: Ramaphosa cancels work trip to address energy crisis by doing VOKOL!!! CyrilRamaphosa

Corrupt incompetent individual. He could have gone on holiday to Davos. It would not have changed anything.

Stop lying he is there for tomorrow judgement he has been there since electricity issue started way way back

We won't notice

He should've left. It's not like he has a solution

18% increase is a joke ,we mostly in the dark these days .loadshedding is getting expensive ANCmustfall

As he should

Nothing gona be done. Just Bs talking for weeks on end with nothing being done . Downward spiral . Ffs !!!!

Saving himself from humiliation. But that it will help us, no. The trip cancellation to the UN if not mistaken had the same effect -no improvement but deterioration as the current energy crisis attests.

I somehow these breakdowns are deliberate to hamper such important official trips so things can continue worsening, and us further blaming the President for the deeds of evil elements who are out of their way to make sure nothing good comes out of this administration

Gwa tshwana ale in

Ebehambi eyazi that we have an energy crisis

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 he's useless

He needs to CyrilAddressus as a Nation , we are losing quite a lot as a nation and I’m sure can see it , Switzerland needs to invest in a matin that works

Its not like he had anything better to do or contribute besides taking selfies then blow more smoke up poor people's asses. Plus Investors were going to demand answers
