SABC makes yet another Cyril Ramaphosa blunder, as SABC News presidential correspondent Mzwandile Mbeje calls him 'president Zuma'.


The SABC's spate of on-air news errors regarding president Cyril Ramaphosa continues with the SABC News journalist Mzwandile Mbeje who on Friday referred to Cyril Ramaphosa's during his trip to Angola as former president "Jacob Zuma".

The SABC News anchor Peter Ndoro just returned this past Monday after "taking a break to rest" after erroneously telling SABC News viewers on the SABC airwaves that president Cyril Ramaphosa had passed away.

This week Cyril Ramaphosa was on a 3-nation trop in the SADC region and kicked it off in Luanda, Angola on Friday where he met the Angolan president João Lourenço.

"We can see president Zuma, and his counterpart from Angola ..." said Mzwandile Mbeje., although viewers saw Cyril Ramaphosa.

Mzwandile Mbeje is the SABC's presidential correspondent.

Last month the SABC's SABC News division yet again erred in the Venda news bulletin on SABC2 when the Venda news reader suddenly made reference to "Jacob Ramaphosa" during a story about former president Jacob Zuma and Nkandla.
