Retired chief justice Mogoeng Mogoeng says he knows he is meant to be the president of SA — but when exactly is the question.

“It's a calling upon my life. I don't know how it's going to materialise. My response is to pray which is why I've been telling people I'll wait for the Lord to speak to me. If He says he's cancelled... I'll be happy to enjoy my pension.

“I'm not associated with any political structure or formation. If I do decide to [run] you'll hear it from me. I'm not considering it but praying about it. It's not something to decide but pray about.” As a retired judge, Mogoeng enjoys an annual pension of R2.8m which he would have to give up should he enter the political arena.Public Interest SA founder Tebogo Khaas on Twitter on August 5, Mogoeng is seen with his wife and a representative of the African Alliance Movement who calls on South Africans to vote for Mogoeng in 2024.

Mogoeng said that running for the presidency was a serious responsibility, particularly with an ailing economy like ours. “I believe running for president is not something you just want to do. It's a serious responsibility, with an economy like this, with the governance systems in a manner they are at national, provincial and local level,” he said.

Who calls him? why calling? Is it a life time calling? Were Mandela, Mbeki, Zuma, Cyril also called? If not, why?

I bet he'll say god (1 of them) has told him (in a private conversation between that invisible chap & this 1) that he has been called... So, don't bother voting, just anoint him king!

Septuagenarian symptoms kicking in… get him a geriatric asap!

He severed under ANC gov,nothing better he'll do.

One Hlaudi is enough, thanks bye😂😂😂😂

As a mother of two kids I have battled alot with my financial state to the point of begging from friends just to survive, until I started Bitcoin trading with the help of Allison_Grillo I made a successful withdrawal of R 200,000 with the help of Allison_Grillo.

Better not have skeletons politics are dirty....

I really appreciate allison_grillo effort for turning my little investment of R8000 i got a big smile on my face after withdrawing R80,000 as my profit i just want to make everyone know of allison_grillo and how she has helped me through tough times
