Charmza: President Cyril Ramaphosa
Our charmza this week is President Cyril Ramaphosa.
In a week when lions roared and circled with demands and ultimatums, the buffalo stood his ground – firm, measured, and presidential.
With the full weight of the Constitution behind him, Ramaphosa made it clear that executive authority is neither outsourced nor negotiated at gunpoint.
His decision to dismiss a DA deputy minister was a demonstration of leadership, not arrogance.
Even when handed a 48-hour ultimatum, he did not flinch.
Instead, he reminded all partners in the government of national unity that consultation is a courtesy, not an obligation.
Mr President, South Africa saw its head of state in action.
