South African President Cyril Ramaphosa is facing calls to resign after it was revealed that he had attended a party during the country's COVID-19 lockdown

South African President Cyril Ramaphosa is facing calls to resign after it was revealed that he had attended a party during the country's COVID-19 lockdown. The party took place in November 2020, when South Africa was under strict lockdown measures. Ramaphosa has apologized for attending the party, but he has refused to resign.

The party was attended by about 30 people, including Ramaphosa, his wife, and several government officials. The party was held at Ramaphosa's farm in Limpopo province. The news of the party broke in June 2023, and it has caused a major political scandal in South Africa.

Ramaphosa has been criticized for attending the party, as it shows that he did not take the COVID-19 lockdown seriously. He has also been criticized for not being transparent about the party. Ramaphosa initially denied that he had attended the party, but he later admitted that he had been there.

The calls for Ramaphosa to resign have been growing in recent weeks. The opposition parties have called for his resignation, and some members of his own party have also called for him to step down. It is unclear whether Ramaphosa will resign, but the scandal has damaged his reputation and weakened his position as president.
