Ramaphosa’s son finds comfort in the wild – ‘Wrestling crocodiles taught me the art of agility’

Entrepreneur and businessman Tumelo Ramaphosa appears to be on a mission to make 2024 his year of taking on challenges with a fearless attitude.

The proud son of South African President Cyril Ramaphosa recently found himself enjoying some time off while exchanging the warm temperatures of South Africa for the frosty weather of Russia.

Taking to social media, Tumelo gave his followers an inside look at some of his experiences while vacationing abroad.

In an Instagram post which contains a series of videos, he takes his followers on an adventure by documenting his first meet-and-greet encounter with one of the world’s most dangerous animals – a grizzly bear.

In one of the videos posted, one can hear the amazement of meeting the bear in real life as he stands in awe of how massive the animal truly is.

Minutes later the two became so comfortable that Tumelo – who is big in stature himself – found himself wrestling with the gigantic beast.

To many people’s amazement he seemed fearless and had a lot of fun.

Captioning his post, he touched on how previous challenges has set him up for any demanding task that comes his way, writing: “From the wild rivers of Africa where I honed my skills wrestling crocodiles to the rugged terrains where I’ve stood toe-to-toe with grizzlies and stepped into the ring with MMA legends like @alexemelyanenko.”

“Wrestling crocodiles taught me the art of agility, strength, and the sheer will to prevail, lessons that have been invaluable as I face off against the mightiest of bears and the fiercest of fighters.”

Shocked by the videos, one user commented: “Tumelo, you have done a lot of wild and impressive things, but riding a brown bear must top it, even for you…”

Another added: “Guy said I don’t like peace; I want to wrestle a bear.”
