President Cyril Ramaphosa’s iPad was allegedly stolen during a live conference – but it has since been found.

On Tuesday, 22 June, President Cyril Ramaphosa addressed the nation on the improvement of the country’s ports.

The establishment of independent ports authority forms part of the government’s efforts to reposition the economy.

Ramaphosa said he doesn’t believe the changes will lead to job losses in the sector.

However, just before the President made the announcement, he was looking for his iPad.

“I’m waiting for my iPad. Somebody stole my iPad,” President Ramaphosa said.

“Can I have my iPad, please?” he continued.

The moment made it to social media – and South Africans went out looking for the President’s iPad.

Later, Head of Digital Communications in the Presidency of the Republic of South Africa tweeted that “The First iPad” has been found.
