'Shame on you': Ramaphosa roasted for sleeping at Russia-Africa summit

[ɹǝuuᴉM]

Sochi - A picture of President Cyril Ramaphosa sleeping at the Russia-Africa summit held in Sochi has earned him more rebuke than praise, with some saying it was “wasteful expenditure” to send him to the gathering.

In the picture screen grabbed from SABC News - which was beaming the proceedings live - Ramaphosa is seen enjoying a nap in a sea of awake and highly attentive delegates.

I guess, he was busy during the night testing condoms for noise levels. Give the man a break

But he is Jesus according to the private sector - lol.

Disgusting.

Well... during his tenure more money was stolen than before so "The Sleeping President" would be a fitting new moniker for him.

Don't wake him. I suspect he is about as effective asleep as he is while awake.

He was praying for help in running SA. Unfortunately, he is being ignored upstairs.

Staying awake in meetings is a western notion.

I dream of a South Africa where the first entirely new city built in the democratic era rises, with skyscrapers, schools, universities, hospitals and factories.

This dream has been fueled by my conversations with four people: Dr Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma, Dr Naledi Pandor, Ms Jessie Duarte and President Xi Jinping, whose account of how China is building a new Beijing has helped to consolidate my dream.

This is a dream we can all share and participate in building.

Sshhhh he is writing his next speech..

Probably talking about the Auditor General report which is of course not enough to make such conclusions but don't expect people to care.

Duh, it's called transcendental meditation

 

[RaptorSA]

No honour among comrades.

"Despite that, there were those who were forgiving, saying the president was tired just like any human being would be after being in a long haul flight from South Africa to Russia."

I'm pretty sure sleeping beauties plane is more kitted out for sleeping than my bedroom.

This - I've struggled a few times in long workshops.
I actually blame his entourage for letting him fall asleep - they should be doing better
