Whoever believes South Africa is a safe place for anyone at this point in time would be deluding themselves. President Cyril Ramaphosa’s security was almost compromised earlier this afternoon while in Lebowakgomo attending an ANC event organized by the ANCWL.<\/strong><\/p>\n PHOTO: News24 <\/strong><\/p>\n Ramaphosa had attended the event, which was a memorial lecture remembering ANC struggle stalwart Lilian Ngoyi, and he was expected to speak. However, there was a great deal of chaos as plenty of people wanted to enter the Community Hall, effectively violating the government’s Covid-19 protocols.<\/p>\n According to the Women’s League deputy president and premier of Free State, Sisi Ntombela, the president had to be whisked out of the venue by his security detail after fears that his safety could no longer be guaranteed.<\/p>\n PHOTO: Twitter – ANC women emerging from the Lebowakgomo civic Hall. <\/strong><\/p>\n She indicated that in the wake of great uncertainty in the country during a week in which a myriad of Parliament buildings was engulfed in blazing fires, it was their wisdom that he be excused.<\/p>\n “Given the recent events that have befallen our country – the burning of Parliament and attack on the constitutional court precinct, we cannot take risks with the life of the President,” Ntombela said.<\/p>\n Screenshot: Twitter <\/strong><\/p>\n Although the party’s women would have felt a great deal of disappointment of not being addressed by the president, Meokgo Matuba, the secretary of ANCWL profusely rendered an unreserved apologia, unequivocally stating that the president didn’t shun the event rather the situation had become untenable.<\/p>\n “We sincerely apologise for what happened. We must not push the narrative that the president walked away from the event, because it was due to Covid-19 regulations that he had to leave,” said Matuba.<\/p>\n PHOTO: News24 <\/strong><\/p>\n It is one’s opinion, therefore, the President’s security detail took such an important measure in the snap of a finger to ensure the important citizen of the Republic remained safe.<\/p>\n The country’s crime intelligence is seemingly dysfunctional, and you could argue that it would take some time for it to be restored and anticipate security threats, because there is a grave concern at recent times.<\/p>\n Do you think it was possibly a good move by President Ramaphosa’s protection unit agents to whisk him out of the venue? <\/strong><\/p>\n Leave your comments in the comment section below, don’t forget to share with your family and friends. <\/strong><\/p>\n Kindly Like and FOLLOW Us For More Stories. <\/strong><\/p>\n Source: <\/strong><\/p>\n ANCWL president Bathabile Dlamini said the league did not view the president leaving as a snub. https:\/\/t.co\/nz62XqpetZ<\/a><\/p>\n — Times LIVE (@TimesLIVE) January 6, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/p>\n
