President Cyril Ramaphosa has called for South Africans to turn the past years’ adversities into opportunities. In his New Year message to the nation, Ramaphosa says the country will succeed in 2020 by working together.“Just as the strongest steel is forged in fire, just as diamonds are forged deep inside the earth’s crust under the most extreme pressure, let us turn adversity into opportunity. In doing so, let us each play our part, for upon the conduct of each depends on the fate of all.
“For many South Africans, the hardships endured. While our economy created jobs, these have not been nearly enough to stop the rise in unemployment or the deepening of poverty. Many South Africans’ lives have changed for the better, but many others are yet to feel the benefits of economic reforms and new investments.”President Ramaphosa says the government is working towards rebuilding public institutions. This after several state-owned enterprises received financial bailouts this year.
“From January, South Africa takes up its position as Chair of the African Union. We will seek to work with our sister countries to realise an Africa Free Trade Area that stretches from Cape Town to Cairo, and from Dakar to Mombasa. We know only too well the enormity of the challenges that confront us, but we are united in the knowledge that we have the means and the determination to overcome them.
Easy to say when you pocket a million a month. You need to create a stable base for economy to be any opportunities....but with every state department stealing the country blind it's not going to happen . You are stealing opportunity from every South African, black, white etc.
