South Africans are holding their breath tonight, not just for President Ramaphosa’s words and action, but for a rare glimpse of decisiveness.
South Africa is praying that the President doesn’t moonwalk around the Mkwananzi–Mchunu showdown like a man dodging potholes in Johannesburg seeking to protect his comrades.
If ever there was a moment to lead boldly for President Ramaphosa, this is it, because failure to act now might not just be a headache for his presidency, but the ANC’s own Waterloo come 2026 Local Government elections.
South Africans have long memories, especially when they are standing in service delivery queues and driving in a Johannesburg that is slowly but surely rotting in being turned into your proverbial African city.
What makes this Ramaphosa television moment even more critical is that neighbouring countries are also gripped by the Mkwananzi saga, not just for the drama, but because in their own backyards, the rule of law is a rumour and police officers don’t dare sneeze without a politician’s permission.
South Africa has a rare opportunity to take the win and show that accountability can still stand taller than partisan and party politics.
Will President Ramaphosa show decisive leadership, or will it be yet another commission of inquiry that rambles on until people forget; buried in paperwork, drained of urgency, and seasoned with legalese until it dies a quiet, bureaucratic death?
South Africa does not need another performance of justice; it needs the real thing, especially when the neighbours are watching with envy because their own police chiefs cannot even question a ZANUPF leader without risking victimisation.
Questions to ask when designing development projects:
1. What are ordinary people already doing?
2. What are institutions already doing?
3. What can institutions and ordinary people do?
4. What help can transform the actions of people and institutions?

@MaminiminiObert@MoLAFWRD_Zim@basera_john@ZBCNewsonline@radio_zimbabwe We are running on self-adaptive & generative pastures coupled with systematic grazing, hay stover & farm made feed rations from some highly nutritious forage & grain supliments. We are collaborating with research-exnt officials from @MoLAFWRD_Zim who insights are transformative.
@kwandinobva @MoLAFWRD_Zim@basera_john@ZBCNewsonline@radio_zimbabwe There is no reason to insult anyone if you understand what it means to be productive & how imperative it is to be a contributor to food markets. Would be glad to host you @ our farm so that you appreciate the how we're contributing to genetic improvement & national herd growth.
