No Security in Sight: President Ramaphosa Spotted on His Morning Walk, South Africans React with Surprise and Joy

On the morning of September 8, 2025, South Africans were stunned to see President Cyril Ramaphosa casually walking through the streets of Johannesburg, dressed in a tracksuit, cap, and sneakers.

Others were caught off guard, admitting that despite their political disagreements with him, the sight of Ramaphosa walking freely made them feel unexpectedly proud.

The video quickly went viral, with thousands commenting on the president’s relaxed demeanor and accessibility.
