    Ivy Ramaphosa is the daughter of the Munyadziwa Erdmuth Ramaphosa and Samuel Ramaphosa. She was born and raised in Chiawelo, Soweto, alongside her siblings. The particular year her parents gave birth to her is not public knowledge.<\/p>\n

    Both of Ivy’s parents are of Venda origin. She first lost her father many years ago. He was a retired policeman who never imagined that a black man would rule South Africa one day. Sadly, her mother passed on in 2001 at the age of 82 years.<\/p>\n

    Ivy and Cyril<\/a> are the only surviving members of their family. The siblings lost their brother Douglas Ramaphosa many years ago as well. Being the first and only daughter in the family, she played great roles in taking care of her younger brothers, especially after the death of their father.<\/p>\n

    Ivy was of great help and value to their mother, who didn’t find it easy raising her kids all alone. There is no record of her academic background, however, she shares a special bond with her younger brother.<\/p>\n

    When Ramaphosa was declared the president of South Africa, she was so excited and also stated that had it been their father had been alive, he wouldn’t have imagined that his son would ascend to the highest political seat in the country.<\/p>\n
