WATCH: These videos are specially for you, Mr Ramaphosa – thank you!

Please share these videos until President Cyril Ramaphosa gets to see them too.

Two separate videos doing the rounds on social media have captured children and teenagers, from the next generation, thanking South African President Cyril Ramaphosa for the tough decisions he has made recently regarding the Covid-19 pandemic.

The woman behind this super-cute video is Claire McLeod of Uvongo.

She was helped by  Cody Fletcher of St Mike’s, and together the pair produced the video that has been posted onto Facebook and Instagram.

“Mr Ramaphosa, we are praying for all the decisions you need to make, for strength and for wisdom and that you will make decisions that will protect all South Africans. Although it feels all-consuming and never ending, this too shall pass. May God Bless South Africa and keep her people safe. Help us SHARE some positivity in these trying times.”

Claire, the mother of two boys, said the idea behind the video was to create postivity in different circles.

The mothers had lots of fun compiling the video, as the children were so ‘real and unedited’ and have the cutest little voices.

The mothers and their children are from across South Africa, including Durban, Johannesburg, Cape Town and of course, the South Coast.

Claire said they would LOVE for the president to see the video, and know he is thanked.

“Mr Ramaphosa looks so tired and stressed, and a man like this needs to be encouraged. Not everybody agrees with the decisions he has made, but you can never please everyone. We think he is doing a great job,” said Claire.

The second video was created by Marburg Secondary matric pupils, who sent their photographs to their teacher, Jivani Moodley to be edited together.

In true South African spirit, the pupils thank Mr Ramaphosa for the decisions he has taken, and ask everyone to stay at home, so they can return to school.
