South Africans are unimpressed by the President’s new trend of kissing grandmothers during his campaigns.
This they share, comes across as if he is trying to win them over for the elections. Pictures and video started making rounds on the internet late last year.
One social media user took to X (an app formerly known as Twitter) to share views about the matter, the user said:
Ramaphosa starts kissing our Gogos, suddenly he thinks they will win 2024. Our Gogos now know the frog won’t turn into a prince. It’s a frog. It was always a frog and it will always be a frog. pic.twitter.com/Ubvrl6xlHW

TikTok users flooded the comment section highlighting, “He is very humble, but I will not vote for ANC.”
“This video reminds me of my rich uncle, when he’s not around, people talk bad about him, some even wish him to lose his job, but Wen he arrived, everyone wants to greet him and hug him, because he is rich,” shared another user.
One user wrote, “That kiss [laughing emojis].”
Another one said, “After the elections we nonexistent when it comes to government jobs, government department job promotions, housing, tenders, NSFAS, universities, service delivery, government housing subsidies, etc.”
