Podcaster Penuel<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

South African podcaster Penuel Mlotshwa has generated significant discussion on X with a tweet envisioning a scenario where U.S. President Donald Trump arrests South Africa’s President Cyril Ramaphosa and his spouse.<\/p>\n

In his tweet, Penuel accused Ramaphosa of managing a drug cartel, engaging in money laundering associated with the Phala Phala scandal, committing human rights violations, including those linked to the Marikana massacre, and even of instigating \u201cWhite Genocide.\u201d<\/p>\n

He also suggested that the United States would take control of South African mines and oversee the nation for an unspecified duration.<\/p>\n

This tweet appears to be a sarcastic commentary in light of Trump’s recent statement regarding the arrest of Venezuelan President Nicol\u00e1s Maduro and his wife.<\/p>\n

One individual dismissed the scenario, saying, \u201cDream on.\u201d<\/p>\n

Another user commented on the hypothetical collapse of the ANC, stating, \u201cFor the corrupt ANC in shackles, I\u2019d almost celebrate, irrespective of the hand that dealt the blow\u2026but things are unfortunately not that simple.\u201d<\/p>\n

Some followers embraced the humorous element of Penuel\u2019s tweet, with one quipping, \u201cI\u2019d braai every day for a month! In celebration if this happened.\u201d<\/p>\n

Another user provided insight into the underlying message of Penuel\u2019s post, noting, \u201cIt\u2019s sad how everyone here is missing Penuel\u2019s point. It didn\u2019t happen, he is simply showing how easy it will be for the US to do as it pleases then spread whatever propaganda about Cyril or any president so as to justify their actions.\u201d<\/p>\n

Reports coming in that the USA has been bombing Johannesburg, & has captured SAn President Cyril Ramaphosa<\/a> & his wife.<\/p>\n

Ramaphosa is accused of leading a drug cartel, as alluded by Lt. Gen. Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi & the Madlanga Commission.<\/p>\n

He is also involved in money laundering,\u2026<\/p>\n
