President Cyril Ramaphosa has been accused of ignoring social distancing rules when he greeted and had his photos taken whilst walking during Sunday morning.
President Cyril Ramaphosa has taken full advantage of the relaxed lockdown conditions. The president was spotted on a morning walk in Rosebank around 9am. Uncle Cyril, was greeted warmly by a trio of women who wanted to take a picture with him.
In a video posted by Sowetan editor Nwabisa Makunga, the three women could be seen walking up to the president and greeting him. One of the women looks like she wants to shake his hand and he responds by elbow greeting her, while saying. Come..before we get arrested.”
Ramaphosa is presumably referring to being arrested for not adhering to social distancing rules. He and the women exchange some banter which is inaudible, then the president can be heard saying; I’d rather be arrested with you’ to which the women responded to with laughter as they moved in to take the picture with him.
While busy reading about #Trump’s psychotic rule this morning, I hear someone shouting outside my window..”Good morning Mr President, we love you!” @CyrilRamaphosa pic.twitter.com/UXAuPodAcC
