The African National Congress president Cyril Ramaphosa has abandoned Cosatu’s May Day celebrations at the Royal Bafokeng Stadium, outside Rustenburg, in the North West.have descended into chaos after a scuffle broke out at the Stadium. Hundreds of National Union of Mineworkers affiliated Sibanye workers have been on strike for almost two months, demanding a R1000 salary increase. The employer is only offering R800. Striking Sibanye Stillwater mineworkers were demanding that Ramaphosa address their issues.Every year on May 1st, the world celebrates International Workers’ Day. It’s all about celebrating workers’ rights and reminding people of the critical role trade unions play in defending workers’ interests.

As South Africa commemorates Workers Day, Gabaikangwe is now a hawker, who fend for his mother and four siblings, says government must ensure it creates opportunities for workers who were retrenched due to COVID-19. “You know in the mining industry at least at once off it helps a lot but as a breadwinner, when you used to carry 50 000 or 100 000 its not coming anymore its a challenge at home. So I have decided that I am not going to sit down. I started working with my fish and chips, with my sweets until where we are.”

People are tired of empty promises by the ANC corrupt government.If EFF and DA think they are an option to SAns they must forget bcz they are the same as ANC.They must leave the Xenophobic SAns to choose the right leaders and parties to run this country for them going forward💪

Has abandoned,😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂, guys this is the joke of the Century 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🙌

We can now see the captured media houses. No need to sugarcoat it, this Negro ran out

Evidence of what the media is capable of... now may we wonder why Zuma has always been negatively reported by the media🤔... this is truly a point to ponder.

Hahaha. SABC lies. He was virtually kicked out the rally.

Imagine a sitting President abandoning a workers Rally 👀

Ninamanga bamxoshile

🤣🤣🤣🤣 this looks so good on the world stage.

Hey SABC we were watching this dont mislead the people ..

SABC hired people like you? You would stop at nothing to white wash your cup cake's flaws and flops... hey the man was booted out and away in a police nyala... rephrase.

This president must voetsek

ICASA_org here is another false reporting by our national news tv.

No he didnt abandon the rally, the whole world saw that he was chased away together with that IFP memeber Blade and her cheerleader Losi

Whosoever is managing this page my be fired..we all saw that he was futsegd by the workers but you, you as a writer chose to misinform the public.

'Abandoned'? not 'chased away'?

Correction he was kicked out of may day rally by well organized workers

Factory of propaganda .. Cyril didn't abandoned the rally but he was chased out, he was rejected.. Stop lying to the masses

Tell the truth

We will stop paying licences if you guys continue with saying things that didn't happen

Yes you are right , people where waiting for him to speak but he had a stomach bug so he has to go home, it's an emergency after all. Not what the people need right VoetsekSAMedia VoetsekANC

Be clear. He was chased away

We saw what happened 😳...in Bafokeng

Guys please it's enough now we can see thru your shit. Y'all guys make Zuma the fall guy very easily but when it comes to Cyril he is protected actually give us honest media. He was chased away because people are tired of him and the ANC simple

Why do you choose to doctor the truth?

But this is fase reporting SABC. The man was boooed and refused to speak by the less than 300 workers in attendance.

Cosatu ke nto mang ? Keyago dirang ?

MYANC Cyril was chased away. You saw it too. Those CR17BankStatements must be unsealed.

He ran away

Lies. They chased him away 😂😂😂

The most hated president to date 😬

PRESIDENT RAMAPHOSA HAS RAN FOR HIS LIFE WITH HIS CREW, after being chased away by angry workers. How does that topic sound?

Reporting nonsense again. He was booed and forced to live on a SAPS inyala.

Propaganda machine, spin spin spin 😂😂😂

This time they hid the Nyala mounting

🤣😅 what happened to 'independent and impartial.'? You guys are censored.

SABC protecting their darling with lies. Cyril was booed, heckled, sweared at and chased away.

Love this, it's time.

your reporting is inaccurate and misleading. Cyril did not abandon May day celebration, the people rejected him 🙄, they did not allow him to address them. Your heading is suppose to read 'people rejected Cyril Ramaphosa the president '

He didn't abandon anything but he is not wanted anywhere in South Africa Period

He didn't abandon the celebration. He was chased out. Report facts.

And then you guys think we can trust you with news while everyday you deliberately distorting the truth, you cannot even hide it. The protection of CyrilRamaphosa has brought the distrust i have on all south african main-stream media houses.

He was told to Voetsek 😝😝😝😝😝 we saw it stop misleading people

Then the same media will sing praises of Cyril and his following, nisdakelwa.

Correction: CyrilRamaphosa was chased & booed by workers in Rustenburg.

You are reporting Kak.

People are tired of lies.

Isukile

Wrong, he was chased away

Soo you guys just decided to lie about something we also witnessed 🤔🤔🤔 I'm not surprised, few weeks back you said someone was burnt to ashes, you even went on to call him Elvis Nyathi but in Zim he has another name and they buried someone with no burnt skin.

this repoter has to be fired he understands the power of misleading the people

Nonsense fake news.....

He’s very dumb to participate in Workers Day event in NW where he ordered MarikanaMassacre He’s too stupid to realise he should cut his losses, step down & save himself from drowning further into the Red Sea RamaphosaMustStepDown RamaphosaMustGo JusticeForMarikanaWidows

samkelemaseko “abandon” 🫣🫣

This should be the theme for 2024, we're sick and tired of this party always fight for positions

Reporting nonsense...we all know mr nose was chased away 🤣🤣🤣🤣

He ran after being told to futsek or else…..

GOOD!

Need I say more?

Why did he abdone,he was asked to leave let's be accurate in reporting, accuracy is important in journalism.

A Venda proverb says 'a spoiled child is worse than a bewitched child'.Thats what the media and their gang are doing to Cyrl.

Nice try! I'll give 1/5 for creativity with that lousy caption! But we all know he abandoned SHIT! Instead he was chased out of the stadium! Good thing he obeyed! They should've pelted him with stones instead!

You really love Cyril Ramaphosa you media. Just say it like it is. Cyril Ramaphosa was chased away by Cosatu members. People are tired of corruption a d selfishness of his administration and his distant manner from the reality of workers. They are all corrupt in govt

Comments by ENCA are disheartening. Instead of dwelling on the current event they bring focus on the past President. Jornalism gone wrong.

Ziyakhala manje.

Don't try to save his ass. He was chased away. Normalise telling the truth tu!

Your choice of words

He ran that is what he did

Zuma, Magashule and Supra rented crowd. You must also know that South Africans are not fools.

The people's president according to media has been rejected by the people... Ramaphosa was misled by media

Almost got beaten

Ramaphosa designed his bed and coffin at the same time. Less effective police and military leads to the embarrassments of the century. If investors can see this south Africa is in trouble. The president safety highlight their investment protection. Confirmation of failing state🤷‍♀️

Cyril was chased out by the workers,we saw it

he didn't abandon 😎 he was chased away

Normal South Africans should normalize doing this to Ramaphosa he the most useless president who has no touch with the reality. He is all about fulfilling his mendate and pleasing his encestors FW Deklerk.

Kufihlwani vele ngoba abantu bamhhahhamezile undodamphini wavele wahosha imfe.

Under Cyril it's very difficult even journalists are afraid to report what they see,just listen to SABC lying unprovoked,he didn't abandoned any thing he was chased away.

Bathi abandoned 🤣🤣🤣he was chased away I also wouldn't let a person capable of murdering me address me

Ramaphosa was chased away🤣

ANC President Cryril Ramaphosa was chased away,not abandoned. SABC News what kind of reporting is this?

He didn't abandon the event. He was chased away by workers. Sies SABC, you are captured by ruppert administration. Workers are tired of Ramaphosa and his puppies.

MelatoMatlokots He was chased away!!!

chasedaway...

A broadcaster that LIES

He was chased away. 🤣🤣

What are u saying public broadcaster. I don't need journalism degree to phrase a proper heading for the incident. Heading: WORKERS HAVE SHOWN ANC PRESIDENT CYRIL RAMAPHOSA A MIDDLE FINGER IN RUSTERNBURG

🤣🤣🤣🤣. This media in RSA is the biggest curse. They are .it even ashamed of lying. Where is journalistic ethics in all this? Why will a national news channel peddle such lies? Fortunately there is Twitter that can tell ot like it is. HE WAS CHASED AND NOT WELCOMED.

Stop lying plz

Ba mo rakile kua rusternburg

This is the beginning, people are waking up, media trying so hard to sell him good to the people, Ramaphosa is no leader

Lies he was chased out

The people rejected him, not abandoned

PROPAGANDA MACHINE, PROPAGANDA MACHINE 🤣 PROPAGANDA MACHINE PROPAGANDA MACHINE Cyril Ramaphosa CyrilRamaphosa PresidencyZA did not abandon Worker's day he was chased away. The reality will strike one day. And stop saying Worker's day is Cosato day

Lying propaganda madafakas 🤥

Cosatu doesn't exist shame!! Cyril Ramaphosa has no problem, the problem is Cosatu leadership. They have reached their destination and forgot who they represent.

He wena U don't want to bite the hand that feeds you... bua nnete he was chased moer se ding

He deserves chaos were ever he wants to go and tell lies to blacks.

Luckily you crossed live and we saw what happened hence we don’t have to rely on this kind of reporting, he never abandoned any celebration he was told to go in other words to Voetsek

Being the head of the home isn't easy, you are expected to provide for the home, I lost my job during the pandemic and relied on the little money I had,things were hard until I met Williamchurch07 and started Bitcoin trading, I earned R500,000 in 3 weeks thanks Williamchurch07

What a pity 🤔, I'm crying for my beloved country

Just say the people abondoned him

Kodwa Nina SABC...

Ubalekile 🤣 former NUM founder uphume ngesamagundane

He must be careful 2024 is here,go tlo ba rough

Just cannot behave nè

Scuffle? They told ANC's Ramaphosa and Cosatu to fuck off in no uncertain terms!!

He was booed

This photo though, it’s full of innuendos. Labour movement is completely paralysed and rendered ineffective under its current President. It’s directionless and amorphous all because of individuals being planted and projects of certain individuals.

makagqiba athi thuma mina..

Beautiful

MAY DAY MAY DAY MAY DAY WorkersDay2022

He was chased away, stop buttering the story. Julle bloody hond.

Chased away! Chased away! Uxoshiwe! 🤸🏾‍♂️🤸🏾‍♂️🤸🏾‍♂️🤸🏾‍♂️🤸🏾‍♂️🤸🏾‍♂️

Its suits him right

He was rejected and chased away. He didn't abandone

Point of corrections, he was booed and prevented from speaking, he didn't leave out of his own will. Don't sugarcoat it please

South Africa is becoming a lawlessness country 😳. Anyone can just form illegal vigilantes groups. Murder cases are on the rise! If that's not curbed before it's too late,it will become another Somalia or South Sudan!

We are not happy as workers

I know you are told what to write and say

You can buy leaders but no the masses

his SINS haunting him...?

He was chased away, motherfuckers... Report accurately

No. Dont pretend he left because of some scuffle. He left because workers said he must go they dont want to hear anything from him

Its almost a sign how out of touch he is with the people

You are lying...IT WAS AN ANC RALLY AND THAT MURDER WAS CHASED OUT

People where shouting 'you must go'. He didn't abandon he was chased.

Aint you going to use a word ‘Breaking News’ Ceril has beed chased away in Rusternburg?🙆🏿

No he didn't abandon, he was shown the door.

Long live?

Stop lying that sellout was chased away by workers

RamaphoMustGo its Time
