SA loses trust in Ramaphosa after he was spotted with Hangwani Maumela

Loss of Trust in Ramaphosa

South Africans have lost trust in President Cyril Ramaphosa after he was caught lying about not knowing his alleged tycoon nephew, Hangwani Maumela, in 2022.

In 2022, President Ramaphosa denied knowing Hangwani Maumela, but was later spotted hugging the businessman outside his mansion, which was recently raided in connection with the looted R2 billion Tembisa Hospital fund.

The video of the incident circulated on social media, revealing a pattern in Ramaphosa's behavior of claiming ignorance in political scandals.

He normally claims not to know a thing and moves on from the issue as if nothing happened.

This has led to a loss of trust in the president among South African citizens.
