IN MEMES | Twitter pulls no punches as #CR17 defeats NDZ in ANC race
Reactions were mixed as the ANC announced that Cyril Ramaphosa had beaten his rival Nkosozana Dlamini-Zuma in the race for the presidency.
Many were jubilant, while some expressed doubt over how effective Ramaphosa's government could be given how the top six appears to be an even split between the #CR17 and NDZ camps.
Of course, the current president's face says it all.

This is not a great result.#CyrilRamaphosa and #GwedeMantashe surrounded by Gupta-ites.#ZumaRecall becomes harder.

So Cyril is meant to 'drive reforms' with Ace Magashule, DD Mabuza, Jessie and Gwede who were all basically willing participants in the mess? pic.twitter.com/1bTohsRxGj

#CyrilRamaphosa should just appoint Jacob Zuma to be the Minister of Higher Education, so he can continue and fulfill the "FREE EDUCATION" idea #ANC54

Ace Magashule is now the Secretary General of the ANC. Ace ran a dairy farm for the Guptas. He LITERALLY milked it for the Guptas.

With such a divided Top 6, how do the ANC avoid fighting with themselves for the next 5 years?

1) Congratulations to Ramaphosa. It is a split leadership team but maybe that is for the better. For those who worry about Ramaphosa being paralyzed, remember that he has both Mantashe and Mashatile, both of whom are politically astute. He has political support & should use it.
