'Ramaphosa will die in jail if he lives to 80,' - political analyst

POLITICAL analyst Prince Mashele says President Cyril Ramaphosa will be remembered as one of the most ineffectual presidents in post-apartheid South Africa. He predicts that if the president lives long enough, “say he touches 80,’ he will die in jail.

In an interview on the Sizwe Mpo-fu-Walsh podcast, Mashele expressed criticism of Ramaphosa, calling him the “criminal in chief” at the head of a “criminal organisation,’ namely the African National Congress (ANC).

“Cyril Ramaphosa will go down in history as one of the most useless presidents we have had after 1994. And I don't mince my words, useless. Zuma will go down in history as the most criminal. But let’s park that, we've dealt with Zuma many times. There is a criminal organisation, the criminal in chief, it’s president Ramaphosa himself’ Mashele said.
