“I Saw Ramaphosa Doing Door-to-door Campaign,You Must Kick Him Out of Your Homes”- Hlaudi Motsoeneng

African Content Movement (ACM) president Hlaudi Motsoeneng has launched a strong criticism of ANC president Cyril Ramaphosa, urging South Africans to reject him when he visits their homes during election campaigns. Motsoeneng questioned the governing party’s ability to address the economic and social challenges affecting ordinary citizens.

Motsoeneng made his position clear while criticising Ramaphosa’s participation in door-to-door campaigning ahead of the 2026 local government elections. He argued that political leaders should be judged by their performance and their efforts to improve people’s living conditions rather than by the promises they make during election periods.

“I saw the ANC President doing door-to-door campaigns, you must kick him out of your homes. He knows people are struggling, yet he sits comfortably in those torn couches,” Motsoeneng said.

His remarks come at a time when political parties are preparing to compete for support from communities across South Africa. Issues such as unemployment, poverty, rising living costs and inadequate municipal services remain important concerns for many households.

Door-to-door campaigning allows political leaders to interact directly with residents, explain their policies and encourage voters to support their parties. However, Motsoeneng’s comments suggest that he believes voters should carefully consider the governing party’s record before deciding whether to welcome its representatives.

His reference to Ramaphosa sitting comfortably in “torn couches” appears intended to highlight the contrast between the difficulties experienced by ordinary citizens and the circumstances of political leadership.

The ANC now faces the challenge of convincing voters that it has practical plans to improve service delivery, strengthen municipalities and address persistent socioeconomic problems.

Meanwhile, opposition parties are likely to use public dissatisfaction with governance and economic conditions to strengthen their campaigns and attract voters seeking change.

Motsoeneng’s statement adds to the political debate surrounding the upcoming local government elections. His appeal could attract attention from voters who are frustrated with the pace of change, although its effect on electoral support remains uncertain.

For the African Content Movement, the campaign period also presents an opportunity to communicate its political message and demonstrate why voters should consider alternatives to established parties.

Ultimately, South Africans will decide which political parties deserve their support when they cast their ballots. The election campaign is expected to place renewed attention on accountability, service delivery and the ability of political leaders to respond to the needs of ordinary communities.

What is your view? Should voters reject political leaders who visit their homes if they are unhappy with their performance, or should they give them an opportunity to explain their plans? Share your opinion respectfully in the comments.
