Cyril Ramaphosa accused of GBV.

Outcome

Overview

TikTok post claiming that Cyril Ramaphosa is physically abusing his wife and that his wife is currently frail and housebound.

Background & Outcome

No evidence whatsoever to support claims. Domestic violence claims against Cyril Ramaphosa all started in 2020 when EFF leader Julius Malema announced in Parliament that Ramaphosa used to physically abuse his late ex-wife. See: https://www.news24.com/citypress/news/nomazizi-must-rest-in-peace-malema-accuses-ramaphosa-of-abusing-his-late-ex-wife-20200218. Since Malema's announcement, there have been various online disinformation campaigns to make the abuse claims a current phenomenon. Ramaphosa may very well be physically abusing his current wife, but we have no way of verifying this. This information is not designed to cause public harm. Only reputational harm to Ramaphosa's name.
