Radio 702 man: What do you think of Cyril?
Adv Muzi Sikhakhane: I view each of the post-Apartheid presidents through political systems and compromises they represented.
Mandela was used as a buffer between downtrodden people and the system, driven by an obsession with sainthood rather than pushing for radical structural change.
Thabo Mbeki is a modern leader who accomplished some great things, but was overly aligned with “Western modernity”.
Jacob Zuma was another “missed opportunity.” He needs to do introspection regarding his presidency and the self-serving agendas around him.
Cyril Ramaphosa represents compromise and selling out, even if unconscious, symbolising how money and political manoeuvring are used to stay at the top. Cyril embodies long-standing flaws within the ANC, namely, a moderate compromise that neglects the daily reality of the country’s most vulnerable people.
