The demonstrators voiced their discontent with the current administration, highlighting systemic corruption, sluggish economic growth, and persistent inequality as key reasons for Ramaphosa to go.

Khustaz Mtwetwe, leader of #Standup South Africa, lamented that since 2018, Ramaphosa's administration has failed to deliver any positive outcomes for South Africa.

Instead, Mtwetwe claimed that the administration has brought misery, rampant corruption, and a severe deterioration in governance.

He painted a dire picture of South Africa's state of affairs, saying that the country is on the verge of collapse.

He attributed this to the failure of leaders to deliver on their promises, citing rampant poverty, soaring unemployment, and rampant corruption that disproportionately affect the poor and jeopardise the nation's future.
