Woman appeals to Cyril Ramaphosa and says she has 14 children

Nomali Mpanza, 60, from eMagabheni in the eThekwini region, has appealed to President Cyril Ramaphosa for help, telling him that she has 14 children and is struggling to provide for them. In a video shared online, Mpanza appears emotional and breaks down in tears as she speaks to the president, who holds her and talks to her while ANC supporters stand nearby. Her appeal has drawn attention to the difficulties she says she faces in supporting her large family and her decision to ask the president directly for assistance.

One thing the post leaves open is what response she received from Ramaphosa, since the clip does not show him promising any specific help or referring her to a government office. The post also does not say where the interaction took place or when. Those details matter because they would establish whether her appeal led to any action. Without them, the clip shows only the emotional exchange, and the outcome of her request remains unknown.

People reacting to the post expressed sympathy for Mpanza, with some saying her situation showed the difficulties large families face and others questioning why she had 14 children if she could not provide for them. Some called on the government to assist her, while others said the president should not be expected to solve individual cases directly.

What remains unresolved is whether Ramaphosa or the ANC followed up on her appeal or whether she received any assistance after the video circulated. The post does not establish what she was told or whether her case was referred to social services. The public is waiting for more information, because the clip has drawn attention to her situation without any confirmation of what help she received.
