"We have been taken for granted for far too long, we have lost everything, friends and family members lost to this pandemic, jobs and businesses lost and yet we are still the ones to continue paying the price."
Award-winning singer, Kelly Khumalo, has criticised the government, saying South Africans should get rid of those in power.

The 'Empini' singer shared a video on social media urging South Africans to use their vote to relieve the country of the “oldies in government”.
Khumalo believes only then will citizens see change.
“I think it's time we get rid of those ones who are in power because they feel entitled, they don't understand the meaning of service. It's not about them, it's about people. They will keep taking this money because they feel 'we fought for freedom', therefore, these people owe us.”

“We have lost everything, friends and family members lost to this pandemic, jobs and businesses lost and yet we are still the ones to continue paying the price. What more do we need for us to see that it is not about us, it never was and never will be. Unless we fight to get out country and our freedom back. All the oldies in government must step down!”
On Friday, 2 July, President Cyril Ramaphosa appointed Basic Education Minister Angie Motshekga to serve as acting president.
Ramaphosa attended the funeral of the late Zambian President Kenneth Kaunda.

Deputy President David Mabuza is also out of the country.
Last week, Mabuza was granted leave for medical reasons. It’s understood that Mabuza is still in Russia for a scheduled medical consultation.
South Africans were shocked at the news and poked fun at Motshekga.
