VIDEO: President Ramaphosa spotted doing "normal people" things
If you ever wondered if politicians like Cyril Ramaphosa venture into the outside world, here is your answer...
There are certain people you would not expect to see in public too often.
Big Hollywood celebs, famous singers, and even politicians are not walking through town like most regular people.

You wouldn't expect to see the president of a country in the queue behind you in Checkers or Woolies.
Not only are they followed around by security, but with delivery services being available for pretty much anything, there isn't a need for them to expose themselves like that and put them in potentially harm's way.
At the very least they might have their personal assistants doing their errands for them.

Whether it be to maintain a sense of normalcy or to appear more in public, it does seem that even the most elite politicians do some of their own shopping.
South Africa's president, Cyril Ramaphosa, was recently seen walking around Clicks with a shop assistant.
In a video that was shared on social media, Ramaphosa can be seen walking through the aisles and picking up some items, although we might never know what he bought.

Some suggestions mentioned that he might be picking up some medication for the eye infection he had.

Of course, the jokes started flying, but others confirmed that most people assume he has someone to do these things for him:
I’ve seen his wife at the Clicks in Rosebank, she used her Clicks Reward card

According to others, he quite likes to shop around and get out of the house:
He has a tendency of just rocking up anywhere 😂 I once saw him at yuppie chef

Seems like you might have to keep an eye out on your next shopping trip, you never know who you might run into.
