Watch: ‘She’s not voting ANC’: Ramaphosa trolled after congratulating Tyla

‘A nation of winners…ruled by a bunch of losers. It’s time for change,’ an X user said after President Ramaphosa congratulated Tyla.

South Africans across the country have rushed online to congratulate and celebrate local musician Tyla Seethal. The 22-year-old just became the youngest South African to win a Grammy Award for her hit song ‘Water’. It is also the only award she has won so far — which is quite impressive.

Like thousands of locals, President Cyril Ramaphosa also shared well wishes with Tyla who he also thanked for “flying the flag”.

As expected, he was swiftly put on blast by disgruntled citizens who are unhappy with Ramaphosa and the ruling party, the African National Congress (ANC).
