Cyril Ramaphosa may be carrying the hope of economic revival on his shoulders as he is expected to be sworn in as Sout Africa's new president today‚ but the wits on social media are bemoaning less imagery to come of a dancing‚ giggling Jacob Zuma.

Finally the day has come that we must face a life without #Zuma after #ZumaResigns during halftime of a #UCL match. Where to from here? I wonder will #Ramaphosa be able to supply us with the same amount of meme worthy material? https://t.co/bVRHBfdUEI

#Zuma clearly reminiscent of the burly african chief#Ramaphosa on the other hand is boring socially awkward, and uncharismatic plus no material for comedians
