Cyril Ramaphosa’s golf outing sparks outrage as SA reels from deadly women’s killings

President Cyril Ramaphosa has faced a wave of public backlash after being spotted on a golf course while the nation grapples with a series of brutal killings of women in Ekurhuleni. The discovery of multiple bodies in the region has sparked widespread fear and calls for urgent government intervention, with many citizens expressing frustration over the President’s perceived lack of urgency during a time of national mourning.

The President’s decision to prioritize a leisure activity while families are burying their loved ones and communities are living in terror is a slap in the face to every woman in this country.

Critics have taken to social media to voice their anger, arguing that the optics of the golf outing are insensitive given the gravity of the gender-based violence crisis. The government has since announced that a specialised multidisciplinary team has been deployed to investigate the deaths, with the President promising that no stone will be left unturned in the pursuit of justice for the victims.
