In a video shared on social media, Ramaphosa can be seen greeting opposition party leaders Bantu Holomisa of the United Democratic Movement (UDM), Julius Malema of the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) and other politicians after also greeting Zuma.

Commenting on the video, Tumisho likened the politicians to “naughty boys” who were fanboying Ramaphosa whom he labelled “the headmaster”. He also roped in Zuma’s politically vocal daughter, Dudu Zuma-Sambudla, who is known for explicitly expressing her disdain for the current president on social media.

“When the headmaster walks in the naughty boys want to laugh and smile with him. We see you. Where’s Dudu now to witness her dad smiling and laughing with the real president of South Africa?”

ABUSE ALLEGATIONS RESURFACE AS FANS DEFEND POLITICIANS

Tumisho’s post was met with lots of criticism as X users resurfaced the abuse allegations levelled against him in 2016.

Following his seperation from his ex-wife, Zozibini Mtonga, she accused him of physically abusing her and their daughter. Mtonga also accused him of alcohol and drug abuse.

Addressing the allegations this week, Tumisho – who is now married to Chantel Wagner – labelled the claims “fabricated lies”. This came after he won his custody battle against Mtonga who had denied him access to their daughter.
