		The General said that Cyril Ramaphosa was being groomed by the Americans, because they have bought into the fake businessman image - and the Americans will want Ramaphosa to get into power here because they believe he really is pro-Western, and pro-Capitalist.
		It will be interesting to see, in the next 3 years, if Cyril Ramaphosa "returns to Politics", because then that could be the signal that our "crunch time" is coming.
