If you use or have used MTN, you have contributed to his wealth!Cyril Ramaphosa. Whatever will be will be. He was supposed to be Mandela’s deputy and take over as President having led on the ground mass movement of the National Union of Miners and the United Democratic Front , being by the side of Mandela at the negotiating table. He was unfortunately edged out by ANC Godfathers. He didn’t have a Godfather. He was not the son of Govan Mbeki, Mandela’s contemporary in the South African struggle. The ANC Godfathers preferred the son of Govan Mbeki, Thambo Mbeki to be Deputy President, a good man and qualified man in his own right. Cyril, frustrated left the ANC and active politics and went to business and became very successful. Years later, he returned in measured steps to active politics after Thambo Mbeki, the man that edged him out has himself been pushed out of power by his own Deputy, Jacob Zuma. Today, the decay of the ANC under Zuma has brought Ramaphosa to the Presidency that he mostly deserved about 15 years ago but for which he was edged out.
Life lessons: Ota o le pa kadara da, won kan le fa owo ago s’ehin ni. It means, what ever is ordained to be , will eventually be.
2. Have a mentality of abundance in the words of Steve Covey. Pursue other lofty and fulfilling dreams if current one seem unattainable.
3. Ramaphosa is becoming President at a time the LORD ordained for him. He is better today, more exposed , more matured and would do better than if he were President twelve years ago. He’s a union leader who transited to become a business leader. He knows the unions, the working class and also knows the interest of business. He would be able to build a social compact of private and public sector needed to build a more inclusive South Africa, uniting the nation under one rainbow umbrella as Mandela did.
Best wishes to President Cyril Ramaphosa, the 4th President of the Republic of South.
