President Cyril Ramaphosa’s iPad reportedly went missing on live television during a speech on measures being taken to improve South African ports. His administration later confirmed that the iPad was not missing and that Ramaphosa was making a light-hear

Only in South Africa will the focus be on an iPad and we lose sight of the bigger policy issues. A major decision was announced today... What will the impact of the “structural reforms” be on our ports, and what of Transnet?

I have a feeling they gave him a backup iPad like a second iPad so it does not look like his iPad was actually lost.

R5.5 billion got lost in a big black hole and all we concentrated on was a lost iPad. Have we become that immune to thievery? Has it become that normal?

It was surprising and disappointing to see our president looking so lost yesterday when his iPad went missing. @dellow_treasure

We also had R500 billion, now it is gone, #iPad.

Thank goodness it was not stolen otherwise South Africans would be daring.

How @CyrilRamaphosa@ PresidencyZA reacted to the iPad going missing is how he should have been with the missing billions. The moment of panic, openly saying “So they stole it.”

@CMutizwa

People should note that there was no question of the iPad being missing or stolen.The president was making a light-hearted point while waiting for the iPad to be brought to him.

We almost paid for that iPad through our taxes.

Several years back I accompanied a sitting deputy governor to a radio interview. At the reception on our way out, she realised she never packed it. Just like that, it vanished. When you ask the staff, they did not know anything.
