President Cyril Ramaphosa's Ipad 'Stolen' On Live TV by Cutezt(op): 1:38am On Jun 23, 2021
I think they stole my iPad’: Ramaphosa puzzled as gadget goes Awol

President Cyril Ramaphosa briefly misplaced his iPad before making an important announcement.

Moments before delivering an important announcement in Cape Town on Tuesday, President Cyril Ramaphosa, who is a stickler for time, had a moment of panic when he could not locate his iPad.

His announcement that the National Ports Authority was now an independent subsidiary of Transnet was briefly delayed because he was unable to find the device which contained his speech, bringing comic relief into the room.

After being introduced to the podium by acting presidency spokesperson Tyrone Seale, Ramaphosa said in jest: “I am looking for my iPad. Somebody stole my iPad.

“Somebody decided they want to dispossess me of my iPad, so I want that. Can I have my iPad please? They stole it.”

Ramaphosa, who looked genuinely puzzled, then said: “I had my iPad.”

Holding the microphone and looking sideways, he asked Seale: “Do you know where they took my iPad to?

“This is the problem of always handing your gadgets to other people. It is always best that I should keep all these things with me all the time.”

Looking at Seale, a seemingly confused Ramaphosa said: “I had my iPad. I had it in my hand. It’s gone. I have lost it, it seems.”

The president rarely deviates from his written speeches.

Seale asked Ramaphosa to take a seat while officials tried to locate the device.

Seale later reintroduced the guests and invited Ramaphosa back to the podium. With his iPad in hand, the president thanked guests for their patience and made his announcement.

Lalasticlala come and see South African wonder
Interesting if this is TRUE.
Howbeit @OP using the acronym AWOL for an inanimate object in this context is quite wrong...Be guided.
Knowing that AWOL means AWAY WITHOUT OFFICIAL LEAVE.

Many South Africans are too TOXIC in nature! SMH.

Every country you say? SMH @you....your Ignorant TOXICITY is glearing and you are obviously only attracted to news revolving around the few Nigerians vises without considering the facts that Nigerians were also pivotal towards the struggle and Independence actualization of South Africa vis a vis Freedom to Heroic NELSON MANDELA!
Nigerians are in government cabinets of so many western and African countries #Facts.
So many South Africans need to work on their Toxicity.

Passport been weak is no longer news and that is because we have always had more of a very weak & cluelessly corrupt military leadership...hence the criminally minded citizens saw it as a norm to be in crime moreso found their way abroad since their crimes gave them access to cash and travelling outside the shores made possible.
It's what it is...however can you tell me why South Africans are Toxic towards other Africans even with a stable Leadership since Independence? I hope you won't blame Nigeria for such character been shown to the world by South Africans.

LMFAO,what a weak comeback. Those leaders are Nigerians, and they are displaying to the world how the average nigerian reasons and acts,so don't be quick to isolate their bafoonery,they are you and you're them. Are your civil servants who need bribes to do their jobs not the average Nigerian?

We don't like illegal immigrants because;
1. Cheap labour
2. Involvement in criminal activities, we have our own criminals we dont want anymore.
3. They're a burden to our infrastructure; schools ,hospitals etc.


Now tell me ,why are you such a tribalistic country ? Why are you so toxic to fellow Nigerians ? Why is there so much hate between muslims & Christians ( both Nigerians ). ?. I hope you wont attribute your own hatred of your own people on our " toxic nature " wink

You didn't answer my question....i didn't ask about illegal immigrants..my question is why are many SA citizens toxic.
It's quite evident so much that they killed LUCKY DUBE as a result of this trait.
I'm sure it wasn't an illegal immigrant that stole the President's IPad on National TV?
Nigeria is multitribal(thousands if tribes) about three thousand tribes so tribalism is expected in such situations since the leaders can't find a way to unify them.

It was actually illegal immigrants who killed Dube,they thought he was a Nigerian drug dealer they were hunting down.

@ the bolded ,South Africa has far too many people who have destroyed their own countries coming here to cause problems, therefore there's bound to be conflicts between them and the locals.

Tell me,why Nigerians are so toxic to one another ,to the point that others call their own nation a zoo out of frustration?

They are not Toxic to a point of killing foreigners!

This is my last response if you can't prove that the person(s) that killed Dube and also the thief that stole the IPad were immigrants .
