Punish the corrupt and remove the incompetent president. Nothing compels us to wait for more damage until 2024,\u201d Manyi said.<\/p>\n<p>It was not only Mzwanele Manyi who is pushing the narrative that Cyril Ramaphosa must be sacked. Former Eskom executive, Koko Matshela although he said he doesn\u2019t belong to any faction of the ANC said the movement is going downhill under president Cyril Ramaphosa.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/34abba2c4ef145f0bbc6347a40fc161f\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Matshela also applauded for Thabo Mbeki when he throws shade at Cyril Ramaphosa\u2019s second term bid, where he called out those  him to contest again. Mbeki asks what\u2019s that and argued that instead of comrades focusing on renewing the movement, they are busy focusing on who should become president.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAll that I know about the ANC is that it was once a party that had more than 2\/3 majority in the national assembly and it blew it all. It is now a 46% party and dropping. Those who seems to understand that they are dwindling by the day.\u00a0Their leadership is out of touch,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Matshela further argued that what Limpopo Provincial chair Stan Mathabatha did of  Ramaphosa in January for a second term was embarrassing, and something foreign to the ANC. He adds even still Cyril Ramaphosa failed to call his comrade to order.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe embarrassing part of this episode is that Mathabatha said this in presence of Cyril Ramaphosa. He never called him to order.\u00a0Premier in the Northern Cape did exactly the same. No one called him to order too. I am very happy that I don\u2019t know this ANC,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/koko_matshela\/status\/1495633693188272129?t=0DDEyVrfXtLuxv59YDzbTg&amp;s=19\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/twitter.com\/koko_matshela\/status\/1495633693188272129?t=0DDEyVrfXtLuxv59YDzbTg&amp;s=19<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Content created and supplied by: DissentingVoices (via  Opera<br \/>News )<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n<span class=\"content\">    ,  .   ,     .
