Enough Is Enough: Calls Mount for Ramaphosa’s Resignation
South Africans urged to emulate Kenya's protests and demand leadership accountability
Dissatisfaction with President Cyril Ramaphosa’s administration grows, a wave of public outcry is urging South Africans to take decisive action. Echoing the recent mass protests in Kenya, citizens are being called to the streets to demand the president’s resignation.
Social media platforms have become battlegrounds for this movement, with many voicing frustration over perceived failures to prioritize South Africans’ interests. “Enough is enough,” one user declared, labeling Ramaphosa a “sellout” and urging the nation to gather at the Union Buildings to hold the leadership accountable.
The mounting unrest highlights deeper issues of economic stagnation, unemployment, and allegations of government inaction, with critics asserting that online debates are insufficient to bring about meaningful change. Instead, they insist, peaceful demonstrations akin to those in Kenya may be the only way to secure leadership that puts the people first.
Is South Africa on the brink of a new wave of activism, or will this discontent remain confined to the digital realm? The coming days may determine the trajectory of this growing movement.
