President Cyril Ramaphosa has for the first time delivered a strong message on the current situation prevailing in the eastern part of the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Millions have been displaced and thousands killed as M23 rebels and government forces fight a protracted war in that region.

Delivering opening remarks as the chair of the AU Peace and Security Council, Ramaphosa said the volatile situation has continued for too long and the situation is untenable. “We agree that the volatile security situation in the eastern DRC has gone on for far too long and is clearly untenable. We cannot but be troubled by this humanitarian catastrophe that continues to unfold. We cannot but be horrified to see people being butchered, women and girls violated. “

Meanwhile, M23 Political Spokesperson Lawrence Kanuka has called on the international community to send a team to investigate what he calls the unfolding genocide in the eastern DRC where government forces are fighting with the rebels.

Honestly honorable member, SA needs that strong message, Eskom is out of control. You should be sending solft messages to Congo and strong one at Eskom leadership!

Congo electric stones for loadshedding

Fat criminal trying his best to look away from the mess he made back home.

Kanti who's this minister of electricity? We suffering here

He's always addressing his fellow south Africans with no change in our country.....that's y never ke votele Anc xem

WeQA

Can he deliver a strong message about the current situation prevailing in OUR country?

That is all he does deliver messages. He doesn't take action. thumamina away.

Check your backyard

Think his words can stop those rebels he is week just come back home to this Chinese banana country

Meneer, nou is jy en al julle jokers weer stil! Weet nie of jy uit jou hoogheid gesien het dis alweer STAGE 6 nie! En jy het tyd om oor ander lande ñ eiertjie te lê en boonop Russian Roulette in see saam China te speel! Kyk om jou rond meneer, ons lewens is in gevaar!

Talk's cheap Stop talking & start doing SA🇿🇦 High Priorities: ▪️Eskom's failures ▪️The neglected infrastructure flood damage in KZN from April 2022 ▪️KZN's polluted drinking water crisis ▪️E.Coli infested beaches ▪️Crime Meanwhile, work decisively with the AU on the DRC crisis

Really? He knows what is happening in DRC but doesn't know what is happening here in South Africa... Interesting!

Wow, a strong message hey! How about strongly trying to keep a bulb on..

Which message

Please change the last four words to two, 'power utility'

PhalaPhalaFarmGate

Who cares about the DRC. What about us?

Aaaaaaand zero 💩 is given... Honestly

What does Cyril Darkness know about sending a strong message stop fucking with us the men can even send a clear massage regarding loadshedding and crime in his own country myb he will appoint a minister of current situation prevailing in the Eastern part of DRC.

Dear G-d PLEASE see the same kind of depraved violence going on right here before you even begin to DARE to have an opinion about what's going on there! Get your frikkin head into the right game dammit!

VoetsekRamaphosa EnemyOfThePeople WEFpuppet 1WorldOrderPOS Stay there .. Be arrested there ..

Good job Mr The Président, the best is yet to come

Please let me know why Cyril is concerned about another African country while he's country is burning? Just rescue me from confusion because this really doesn't make sense. Millions are going to bed every night without food and he's worried about another country? Priorities 😡😡

👎👎👎...CyrilRamaphosa , please focus on the issues in your own country, I.e. - crime, murder, corruption and Eskom.. etc

I agree. Clean in front of your own door before sweeping somewhere else. Your country is going to tatters and You talk about the Congo. Are YOU blind or what

One of our soldiers died on a foreign country, he was right to deliver a strong message.

Yaz we don’t really care …

How bout just sorting matters at home for a change?🤔

Let's call it what it is; Rwanda has been destabilizing Congo for years whilst stealing its mineral resources to enrich itself. Paul Kagame is no angel and has no respect for other nation's sovereignty. There have been assassinations of opponents in SA. M23 = Rwandan forces.

Plz Mr Ramaphosa help S A about electric

He should deliver a strong word to his corrupt party and do sonething to the energy crisis. I had hope on him but he's more of the same...

Sweep the sh*t off your own doorstep first - what a cheek !!!

I'm not an expert. But after viewing and analyzing this post from beginning to end, line by line, word by word, letter by letter. I came to the conclusion and i can say that i can't say anything because as i said at the beginning, I'm not an expert.😄

What about South Africans? Why is he so quiet about human trafficking? Is it because SA is one of the biggest trafficking hubs in the world. By the way this cyril looks a little big different to previous ones

And that doesn't help us at all

True, he must care for us first, as they say first impression last longer

Who cares?

Jirre jou land is in die kak maar jy deliver strong messages vir ander lande

ANC can't even govern a local municipality. DRC doesn't need the ANC in any regard. Ramaphosa is doing a better job at Phalaphala. John will be a far more capable team player. VoetsekANC

. Ok, cb.. C. M, b cb mm b vbn vjn;{

The president needs to look tuff somewhere. He is warming up to giving a strong speech to us. Right after Bafana Bafana wins the world cup semi-final.

Maybe the Congo is shivering out of fear. Maybe they have been threatened that Eskom will be sent to the Congo to start loadshedding there

What the What business does he have in any other country aside from the one he has managed to screw up! What is this headline trying to distract us from?

And empty promises to South Africans...

The DRC? Really? Nothing about how he and some if not all of his corrupt ANC ducked up the RSA and ITS current situation? 🤯

He must stay in the Esstern Part of Democratic Republic of Congo permanently. We will solve our Sputh African National Crisis on our Own.

What about us...Charity begins at HOME😤😤😤😤

It was about time for him to also react

Well said but He must start by fixing our problems herd in our country not to be good on the outside world

So all this time he was joking 😭😭😭😭

You make me think about that children cartoon... Ou Grootbek. In South Africa you can't deliver a strong message because we see through you. We came to know a certain phrase.... 'Just follow the money'.... And that is where your story ends.

For the first time 😂😂😂

What about our country!? More holes than road, no water, no electricity, criminals having more rights than law abiding citizens... but let's focus on something else... we're not fools...

Meanwhile his party continues to assist a former Congolese warlord to flounder our city regulations in Johannesburg, failing to monitor illegal buildings used for rentals to undocumented migrants, illegal reconnection of electricity, etc., all of which places neighbors in danger.

3% And still nothing is being done or said about govt salaries! Inflation has beaten our salaries to a pulp for a 4th year in a row.

ANC tactical BS game is to highlight other countries that are also failing! That makes them feel better. Like a guy running the Comrades Marathon celebrating 5 other people like him having a heart attack! FF?

Really? Whoopy for him. Exactly how is that helping our electricity crisis!

Cyril can stay there or maybe the plane can technically fail in the air and the whole country will be happy

Never mind their challenges, try and do at least ONE thing right in your time in the presidency. I'm so embarrassed for you, you've done worse that Mugabe, its disgusting

Diamond hunters !!!

President No Action Ramaphosa Come and fix shit in this country and forget that DRC. What is it with this guy?

What a joke of a man. Even his own people hates him.....

Why Why does CR fix his country first.

If you rather talk about South Africa situation ?, instead of Congo…!!!

So tell him to go stay there cos he does nothing for SA .

He is more interested in the well being of people in other countries, but not his own 🙄

Maybe he just gaslit better

While we wait for strong statements from him regards to our current situation in this hell hole of a country

I have a strong message for him 🤬

I wonder why we're on stage 6, is because President is out of the country

We have stage 6 loadshedding

🙄

While he failed to address electricity issue in his country or killings in KZN

Very good at delivering such! Action dololo

And what about russia's unlawful invasion of Ukraine? What about russia killing and kidnapping Ukrainian children? Ramaphosa and the ANC support that!!

Ramaphosa

That's all the man does strong messages and no action

Useless this one

Mxm

A strong message on what's happening in another fucked up country in Africa. Well, that oughtta work, right?

What about stage 6?

He only cares about him self. ANC must fall

Akere their mines are there!!!

What about current situation here STAGE 6 now CyrilRamaphosaMustGo

Would be a fabulous thing if he could deliver a strong message on the current situation in his home country & do something positive about it

What about situation prevailing closer to home?
