DRC: The Nation Wants Answers, Mr. President

President Cyril Ramaphosa must be wishing he could rewind a week to the snowy mountains of Davos, Switzerland, where he was wooing potential investors and making jokes at the World Economic Forum (WEF).

In Switzerland, his only worries were what to wear to combat the cold weather and how to sell his country as a potential investment destination to the world, not the hot reception he would receive back home and on the African continent.

Since returning to South Africa, he has had his hands full, attempting to put out fires wherever he goes.

First up was the backlash to him signing the controversial Expropriation Land Act, with some members of the government of national unity (GNU) only finding out about it via social media.

The DA was particularly incensed by the way he signed off on the Bill, calling for a reset in the relationship and drawing a line in the sand with regards to their coalition going forward.

Other "partner" parties have also expressed their anger at the Bill being pushed through without consultation.

The Act will now be challenged in court and the president has had to spend time calming the coalition waters this week.
