Ramaphosa won’t last until the end of 2020

I refer to the letter written by Talbot Cox (“President made a clean getaway with Sona”, February 13).

Cyril Ramaphosa will no longer be president of SA by the end of next year (2020). He will be a “has-been”.

Just like his predecessors, he will not complete his term of office.

The ANC/SACP government has already dug his and their grave with all their corruption, lies, deceit, state capture and failing services at government, provincial and municipal level.

The same that happened to the former NP government when they were outwitted by the very same Ramaphosa.

All their promises will – as in the past – come to nothing.

They are made powerless by their own greed and lust for personal gain and political power.

Politicians never learn – history has proved this over and over again.

The same mistakes are always repeated.

The trade unions, which Ramaphosa helped structure, will play a major role in his demise, aided and abetted by the “state capturers” within the government who encircle and undermine him.

The ANC/SACP government is following the defunct NP, which was also involved in self-destruction.

Just a pity it is taking so long – with the population being the real losers.
