Linking the new president - Cyril Ramaphosa

Here's the wiki page - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyril_Ramaphosa — Preceding unsigned comment added by Edwu (talk • contribs) 21:19, 18 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Can we put the legal issues somewhere else?

The legal issues should belong in their own section of the article.

Maybe in the controversies?

Done I agree that it makes sense for there to be a dedicated section for the corruption charges; I’ve moved that to after the biographical sections, since the charges now span almost the entirety of his post-1994 political career. But I have put the rape trial back into the biography (which is where the Nkandla legal issues were already), since that trial took place over a short, fixed period of time. Assuming that the corruption matter won’t be resolved for some time, it might make sense to create a separate article about the Zuma corruption case, c. 1999-present?

His predecessor is not linked despite having a page on Wikipedia. It should be linked in the info-box at the top. 95.146.239.17 (talk) 14:30, 17 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Not done. Thabo Mbeki is already linked in the infobox; see WP:REPEATLINK. ◢ Ganbaruby!  (talk) 22:33, 17 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

5th President?

Please correct your text. Zuma is not the 5th president of South Africa. He is the 5th preaident of the New South Africa. 196.15.149.41 (talk) 15:37, 22 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The post was called "State President" pre-1994 and was renamed "President" afterwards. This means that he is the 5th "President" (since those pre "New" South Africa were "State Presidents", not "Presidents") MoHaG (talk) 18:49, 22 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
