00:00What is Cyril doing about the load shedding?
00:04No, I ask.
00:07I ask because I've been trying to find out.
00:11And I can't find any information on it.
00:14He used to give press conferences every day during COVID,
00:17and then now he's gone.
00:19What is he doing? Do you know?
00:21Because I can't find nothing.
00:25He's doing nothing?
00:28That's an interesting approach.
00:32It's a really interesting one.
00:36I'll be honest, man.
00:37I don't know.
00:38I don't know how to feel about Cyril's presidency.
00:45I don't.
00:47I don't know how to feel about Cyril's presidency.
00:53Because he was promised
00:57as the person who would bring consistency.
01:00All right?
01:02I didn't know it would be like consistent load shedding.
01:10And it's crazy when you think of how it began.
01:13You know, when Cyril became president,
01:16South Africans were ecstatic.
01:18It reverberated around the world.
01:20Newspapers would report,
01:21is this the turning point for South Africa?
01:25People in the streets here were so happy.
01:28They called it Ramaphoria.
01:29Remember that?
01:29They said it was Ramaphoria.
01:32I saw him in Cape Town,
01:34walking along the promenade.
01:36People were cheering for him.
01:38He was taking pictures with babies.
01:43And then now,
01:44you come back a few years later,
01:47those babies are deleting their pictures.
02:02I feel like Cyril
02:04is the most disappointing president
02:07this country's ever had.
02:12Honestly, I feel like Cyril
02:13is the most disappointing president
02:14this country has ever had.
02:17Not the worst president.
02:18Not the worst president.
02:19The most disappointing president.
02:22There's a difference.
02:23There's a difference.
02:24Yeah.
02:25Because we all know
02:26who the worst president was.
02:32Yeah.
02:34Hendrik Favut.
02:46But Cyril
02:48is the most disappointing.
02:50The reason I say disappointing
02:51is because disappointment lives
02:53in the gap
02:54between expectation
02:56and reality.
02:58Cyril came in
03:00at the highest level
03:04and now we're sitting here
03:06in a reality
03:08that's so far
03:09from what we expected.
03:11You know?
03:12Whereas with Zuma,
03:13say what you want
03:13about Zuma.
03:16Say what you want
03:17about Jacob Zuma.
03:20We weren't disappointed.
03:28We were shocked.
03:30But we weren't disappointed.
03:32Because remember guys,
03:33that guy came in
03:35with a shower.
03:36Don't forget that, eh?
03:37He kicked things off
03:39with a shower
03:39so no one can be like,
03:40oh, I can't believe
03:41what happened.
03:42Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
03:43From the very beginning
03:44we were like,
03:45okay, this guy's coming
03:45with action and personality, eh?
03:48From the very get-go,
03:49Zuma came in with a shower,
03:50he came in dancing
03:51and smiling.
03:56We were like,
03:58all right,
03:59we're going to be in
03:59for a ride.
04:02And that's exactly
04:02what we got.
04:03That's exactly what we,
04:04we just didn't expect
04:04that degree, you know?
04:07If you think of it this way,
04:08think of it this way,
04:08it's like South Africa
04:09is a car.
04:09If you think of South Africa
04:10like a car,
04:11the president is the person
04:12driving that car.
04:13We're all the passengers.
04:14You know, we're there,
04:15we're paying for the petrol,
04:16we're paying for the maintenance,
04:17all of them.
04:17The president's driving.
04:19You know,
04:19and when Zuma came in,
04:20we could see,
04:21hey man,
04:21this guy,
04:22you know,
04:23it's going to be interesting.
04:25You know,
04:26and he came in there,
04:27he, he, he, he,
04:29I'm ready to drive.
04:33And everyone there was like,
04:34Jacob,
04:35are you drunk?
04:37And he was like,
04:38no,
04:39I'm wasted.
04:41Ha, ha, ha, ha,
04:44and he got in that car
04:46and he drove it
04:47like it's never been driven before.
04:49He crashed into everything.
04:50He broke every speed limit.
04:52At some point,
04:52he started selling the parts
04:53to the Guptas.
04:55Take the battery.
04:56We don't need it.
04:57Ha, ha, ha, ha.
05:01And then finally,
05:02South Africans had enough.
05:04Jacob got kicked out of the car.
05:07We were all looking at it there.
05:09Barely surviving.
05:10Get sick, get sick, get sick, get sick, get sick, get sick, get sick.
05:15And then we're like,
05:15who's the next driver going to be?
05:17Who can drive this car next?
05:19And the DA was like,
05:20we can drive.
05:21And we're like,
05:21ah, ah, ah, we're not ready yet.
05:24Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
05:25Too soon, too soon.
05:30Cyril,
05:33are you going to drive?
05:34And Cyril was like,
05:35yes I can drive the car and we're like wait wait Cyril are you drunk and Cyril was like no
05:43I don't
05:43even drink and we were like oh wow okay all right here you go and he got in the car
05:49but what we
05:50didn't know is that he only had a Lena's license because he sat in that driver's seat he put his
06:03seat belt on he looked down and he was like oh it's a manual
06:14it looks like we're gonna learn together
06:24because I'm sorry man I just feel like sometimes Cyril doesn't he just lacks conviction you know

06:33conviction well Kamari be like I'm gonna fight corruption I'm gonna fight it and it's like
