President Cyril Ramaphosa says South Africans deserve to live in a country without an electricity crisis and tough action against corruption, crime and gender-based violence.

He delivered his New Year’s message to the nation from his official residence at Genadendal in Cape Town.

“We must build on important work done this year to determine actions in the next. We must intensify the fight against poverty, inequality and unemployment as well as crime and GBV. This is what SA wants and deserves.” . Ramaphosa says behind-the-scenes work will ensure that power cuts will eventually be a thing of the past.

tracymazubane These old croaks in power have been singing a very same song with same lyrics ' corruption must come to an end' yet they the ones playing guitars dancing to their own tune. I for one am tired of these scammers in power. South Africans, we are doomed. These criminals are weaked.

Open letter Mr President crime is not fixed by increasing police force No. Crime is fixed by reducing poverty. The root for crime is poverty and hunger. When have no income they turn to crime. anc nasrec PhalaPhala sabc

GO THE Russian way, finish n klaar

When did he say that? He should have said it many years ago!

Useya bora lobaba just big mouth no action

Blah blah blah we need Action. Enough with the talking....

Go a step further by saying SA does not deserve a president like me

Yhe!! SABC, nibhadlile aph'entloko?!!!!!

Ask him what did he do with the 8.6 billion America, and Europe paid him to stop our coal production..now he is exporting South Africa's coal to Europe France fired up their Coal plants with our Coal this president is a criminal

Same stupid song not even a different tune

Really?

Belief and ACTION are poles apart....ActionSA have the keys....ask Herman Mashaba...he knows the secret.

Time for action, words do not change anything. We listened to a lot of good sounding words for almost 5 years while everything deteriorated under anc criminal mafia.

Electioneering talk starting early😂

obviously...

So he says each time. We deserve competent, honest leaders and we will have electricity. At least start getting those corrupt cadres out of office and get them arrested, that would soften the electricity rage a wee bit. CyrilRamaphosa

Put all politicians in prison the country will be fine.

Yap yap yap

The first smart words to exit his mouth!!

And yet under his and his party's watch, they've allowed our country to deteriorate. Cyril can read a script and nothing more. ancmustgo

Big talk no Action

Just talks this one

President it's time for you and your party ANC to step DOWN 👎👎👎

He must stop the lip service and do the job. We are giving him one year to fix it. If not 2024 is just around the corner and we'll vote the ANC out.

Yes and the first thing is to disband parlaiment. He resigns and we the people choose the president.

Don't we just 🤐 The song with the words when you say nothing at all comes to mind. So please play another tune 🤫

Hierdie weasel kan net kk herhaal as hy sy snater oopmaak.

🥱🥱🥱😵😴😴

Ramaphosa has already shown he is incapable of fixing these issues.

If only he was in a position to influence these changes

🤣🤣🤣🤣The joking statement of the year

Strange...there is something timing in my ears..

And by that statement, he said that its everything the ANC have done done far. They have to go.

Next joke...

No shit, Sherlock

Yes Mr president 👏

Bloody hell. Repetitive ongoing non action.

So why can't Eskom have their diesel deal

He is the leader of this country with so-called corruption, crime and gender-based violence. Leading the way.

We don't care what Cyril says, we care what Cyril does. We need action

Climate change and ELECTIONS and covid are fake

Yes that's what we deserve, but definitely not what we get/got with you and your cadres. But hey... Your only job is to 'unite' MYANC. Useless. The whole lot of you. Sies. And. Tsek

What a joke , he had that task personally to sort out loadshedding when he was deputy president under Zuma Era and now he can't even sort out , cyril has failed everytime he must go, he couldn't fix it then and still has no idea , ANC is the rot of this country problems

For sure... so why don't you do what you get paid to do... Sort the mess out

😂

His a NOB

The culprit

Blah blah blah

😂😂😂😂

Pity he did not say anything when they robbed eskom at first . He waited until there was nothing left to steal

President my President

How is it that when I started my first year as an educator an Indian child told me that there will be bad load shedding. How is it that our neighbouring countries get electricity from SA but they don't have load shedding. SA's own citizens gets bullied.

Utter nonsense statement and same old bla

🤣🤣🤣🤣he talks in to many tall tails and we must believe him what a joker 🃏 🤣 🙄 he must shake his pants the money will fall

Give us less kak talk......and gaan kak

Actions speak louder than words… much, much louder!

Get bent. Liar.

There’s lots more than that

bla bla bla

CyrilRamaphosa hasn't got a clue about SA problems. He believes that talking and promising will sort it out though.

Does CyrilRamaphosa drink alcohol? The same thing he said 8 years ago he's still saying it, hayi makayeke ubutya kangaka maan azowbhodlela kuthi

We don't have an electricity problem. We only have an anc problem

I don’t ya ya wanna see o okay love

Mcwii

Ramaphosa has shown by his inaction that he has absolutely no intention of doing anything about the corruption surrounding the operation at Eskom as well as all the other corruption being committed by senior ANC members elsewhere. The country has to get rid of the ANC

All talk and no action.

Lets give Rama a chance.The time he got into power covid knocked on the door so he had to chsnnel his energy to save south Africans.There has never been a president in SA who got into power and faced what Rama faced.He is a hero guys.Let us give him a chance .

We deserve to live in a country without Ramaphosa, that’s my story and I am sticking to it.

If Ramaphosa was not a president we would be living a good life with electricity,I miss the so called nine wasted years because it was nice to live in SA

Really, only now does he realise this

Does he really still call it a crisis.. pathetic President..

Sy kop raas.

Please, it’s not April fools yet. Chill.

skaapjas BLA BLA BLA BLABLA BLAAAA

Is this a graap ?

Aowa hle,the man is full of talking action dololo

CR is a nebulous, detached, technocratic missive. No evidence the president is vaguely in tune with the national mood, nor able to address specific concerns directly or even seem human in any real way. Might as well be “from the desk of a computer”.

RIP Mampintsha..... *Thinking*

South Africans deserves to live in a country where he is not president

Naye bro Cyril its been long singing the same song,redudant and hopeless

This is why society needs to function within rules and procedures that are followed. Sad that people are paying higher and higher prices for the lax work ethic of officials

Mnxxxm can you please stop telling us lies coming from this corrupt man. I hate this thug that was brought to us by white mafias. Cyril must stop undermining citizens. He is not made of iron🗡️🗡️🗡️🗡️🕛🕛🕛🕛😡😡

yes, strangely that’s your job. You employ people that must make it their priority- so what are you doing about it?

Bla bla bla....... some shit different day...frogboiler.....

Who still takes CyrilRamaphosa serious.

😂🤣🤣🤣🤣😂🤣🤣🤣🤣

But he's been saying that for years now. And what has he done? Same as he's doing now, just saying words

Words come easy. Don't tell us ! Show us results. Talk is cheap.

He is a liar

For real? I would never have guessed...

His the one who's sabotaging Eskom how can he say that because in his own family their never felt loadsheddibg South Africans let's be wise we can end this by not voting for Anc

I will believe it when I see it. Phosiphosi is very reluctant to kick butt

Our leadership in South Africa is the best when it comes to talking a lot of nothing 🤦‍♂️

We will leave this country for him.

Mxm

Waiting 1 million jobs since you promised us 2018

I have long stop taking him serous when he cut trip shot to address loadshedding but only to do nothing. Waiting 2024

Says the most corrupt person alive

So this means we need a new political party and a new president CyrilRamaphosa because our current state is the fault of the ANC and you!

They coached him to play dumb, sympathizing with us while we languish in hunger, lack of electricity, unemployment and all sorts of things. Their aim is to kill us softly, they will fool people like constitution 95 and not everyone

Hong,hong,hong

Completely agree. Thank you so much President. So if the ANC could please just step aside and allow a competent Govt to come in, we could stand a chance of getting this

The proof is in the pudding...whenever Mr no-backbone

Profound. This is leadership

All talk frankly

Like an abusive partner telling you that you deserve better. Like🤷🏾‍♂️ we know, we need to get rid you and we will get all the good things we deserve.

They say.. Empty vessels makes the most noise....

😂😂😂😂😂😂no shit Sherlock

All of these dreams remain wishful thinking under an ANC government.

They are pooling our legs! Really journalist in this country are part of the blame!

He is mad

His talking hogwash

Uyahlanya

Bla, bla, bla.....

Talk talk talk no action.

South Africa had the best New Years Fireworks display in the entire world, Eskom did not switch us off.

Corruption is so ingrown in this country good luck in eradicating it.

We deserve a leader who does more than just talking.

Been saying that for years

What about his Phala Phala corruption?

He is suggesting that we move to another country other than SA.

I think the president is confusing talking about it & taking actions 🤔🤔🤔🤔

We also deserve to be protected yet you allowing china to send flights filled with covid patients into our country again just like at the end of 2019. You really think the public will forgive you if there is another outbreak due to your lack of action? Stop flights from china now

He IS THE CAUSE. HE MUST shut up

A man with no Honor nor backbone... just a liar with Big nose 👃🏿

Speaking like he is in opposition benches.

Such wise words from a wrong mouth. A Money Launder, a Bully

We also deserve to live in a country without a potato for a president.

Ironically,CyrilRamaphosa is the one man that can change all of this,supposedly. One cannot not laugh

SAYS THE THIEF! SIES MAN, SKAAM JOU!

I am sure CR is high on drugs.

😅😅😅 he is so funny. I really want to start the new year saying something nice, but VoetsekANC . HappyNewYear2023 HappyNewYear

Talk is cheap Mr President

But I don't understand..How is what Ramaphosa says news....

Weleleeee

Mxm

It's just all talks and no action. I don't take this president seriously

In 2023 VoetsekRamaphosa

True, but what is he doing about it?

Where was he when his comrade are stealing our money?

Read carefully: 'without tough action against corruption, crime and gender-based violence'. Spot on.

This clown and his entire circus should not be leadership of such a great country. We need better leaders.

Why does this dude speak like he's not in control of government

Mxm it’s 2023 let’s stop with the lies

We know ….the question is does he know.

You can fix it by firing your useless cabinet and appointing opposition MP's qualified in the portfolio!

Yes, if only he had any power to address any of those issues or impact policy 🤦🤦 Who does he think will come and fix it for him whilst he focuses on the money grabbing?

Talk is cheap....everything else in this country is expensive. 🤣

Yes Mr billionaire President.

Same old _same old, recently there was a swimming pool fights due to your failed leadership as a movement ANC since taking over, blacks have got nothing to show in their neighbourhoods that is the reason they run to whites neighbourhoods,go back to the ppl

All he knows is talk with no action, stop telling us what he says and tell us what he is doing

State the obvious why don't you. The question is, what are you going to do about it. Stop talking and start DOING!!!

That's nonsense,we have been facing such crisis for years,he is part and parcel of corruption and ge must stop to make us fools as if he is clean,how do you jeep such money innthe house in dollars,what is a corruption

Words words and more words... eish

Great stuff. So what's the plan Mr. President? My suggestion is with immediate effect. Stop procrastination. Stop dithering. Stop being on the verge of indecision. Stop the years of waffle without results. Remove all ministerial obstacles. Act on KPI,s.

Uyanya, angithi siku-stage 6 kumanje?

Actions speak louder than words Mr President.

We deserve better than the ANC

People deserve to live in a country not being looted by the anc, deserve a right to a future of non corrupt thieving free council workers who are there to use tax dollars to make the peoples lives better not better for a few thieving puppet commedian clowns called goverment!!

We are told, this 'president' is the only thing 'left' in the ANC. All the rest are useless idits...so says the new SG. They say he is more popular than the 🎪🤡 party itself. Now he is at the helm 'again', good, we are 18 months left and I am counting. I want to see the outcome

He's been saying the same damn thing ever since he became president.

And the ANC is responsible for all this. It seems like he is talking about someone else being the cause of this destroyed country. They are responsible. Own up to it.

And you believe all he says, right?

Time to fix it.

MB he must study the root cause analysis?

CR is in charge and has just received another mandate to deliver all his plans...can he just get on with the job at hand and stop telling us what we deserve and just do it

Words, words, words!!!

He said there will be no loadshedding today but at Daveyton we are going to have it hey!

Lying and wishing that in 2023 Males would get pregnant and deal with periods Don't wish for the IMPOSSIBLE.

Already starting to sweet talk for elections? Politicians.... 🙄

Marete a cyril le pravin

Practice what you preach

No they don’t. They keep voting ANC, they deserve to suffer enormously, and they are suffering. For as long as the ANC exists, it will only get worse. Enjoy what you voted for and don’t complain, you want this. This is your own fault and your own problem. Enjoy the darkness

The ANC will never lose another election and do you honestly think the next election will be fair without ballot boxes disappearing or tampered with ?

Ja right...because he is the master of all that

President se POES. HIM AND THE a.n.c must fokkof

Stop Joking

This is absolutely shocking news CR! Wow you have allowed women and children to live in total darkness and you had foreign currency hidden under your mattress Really now CR....were we all born yesterday A SUDANESE BUSINESSMAN DELIVERED DOLLARS TO PHALA PHALA.....WOW WOW WOW

This was a promise to the people 30 years ago. 30 years ago they said free electricity now they just say electricity. What really changed

Ramapromise at it again..

That if u can count him as a people, but I don't think he makes the cut?

CyrilRamaphosa then remove people who don't deserve to be in power like yourself. Remove these thugs who call themselves ministers and comrades. Cele has enabled crime on such levels that if we call the police we are calling accomplices of the actual perpetrators

Now where did I hear this before 🤔 mxm 🚮

Why don't he tell u something we don't want, because what he sead is old news, and he was one of the people who created just that

Fuseg

When its his own messing up this country

What abt a jobless country and where ppl die of depression bcs they can't live in these circumstances?

Those are words of day dreaming of anc all the times

A few minutes of my life I won't get back ....wasted..

Yes when will that happen?

He needs to retire himself then...

2015 he once said loadshading will b history,,but today we find it as a future

Look who's talking! Who has hope in this man CyrilRamaphosa anyway? only the Thumamorons, kleva blacks n whites (doing business with the state). Zondo OCJ_RSA chose to seal the CR17BANKSTATEMENTS PhalaPhalaFarmGate

Just empty words

You misheard. He said we deserve to live in a country with these things. Must be. It's the only way to make sense of both anc governance and the fact that they keep winning the popular vote.

Unamanga lobaba Maan yhoooo bakesibona ubona izilima

All politicians makes huge promises but have plan on how it will materialize. Malema, promised a free private school. No idea how he would run it if there were no school fees. All party leaders have lots to say but no action. Except the DA. With the little they have they do.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. Stop stealing and we have a small chance of recovering from the trillions missing😭

We all agree, unfortunately for us the ANC cannot provide that. Cadres are ro corrupt and put their interest first before that of the country.

What is he doing about it? Actions speak louder than words!

He's the worst corrupt president, a hypocrite of note. South Africa doesn't have electricity crisis, this is a man made problem, so that Shrek will appear to be a hero, when there's never been a problem ever.

Do as u say president. Fix the problem

Well DUH!!!

Always talking no action.

This is like an abusive husband telling his battered wife that she deserves a better husband!

Loadshedding is a scam. Eskom just hasn't got the funds for fuel. The funds are in the pockets of the corrupt. Many industries close during the holiday season. So what's the problem.

Starting with you potato face!

He says alot of things and does fuck all

It's the opposite. Cyril believes South Africans don't deserve anything. He believes only white people and Western people deserve electricity and good life.

Free from any kind of violence

He says as the power gets cut on new years eve.

My President

Always against corruption whilst he fails to fix the electricity crisis. This man is a failure, sies.

We all heard this song before.... No action

Where are the Guptas?

I dont know this will be reality we know that promises are just wave or shade of failures just foucus and we are ready watching for your actions Mr Man

Die gamors net kak praat, wayawaya!

Yeah 👏👏

Talk is cheap. ANC and CyrilRamaphosa have a track record of failure, neglect and sheer incompetence when it comes to running the country

Fotsek jong

Act

Smoking something

Fake news.

Action is needed not just words cyril prove u worth hav a backbone change your mindset SA before party . get rid of the looters

That's why we sitting in darkness on new years eve 🤣🤣

He always dream

Bla bla bla bla voetsekANC

Talk talk no action, disappointed my money was on him to get the country right

Pho why kumnyama

Good for nothing. Malala-pipe

Like Jingle Bells it is the same song we have been hearing for years.

Waking up now, Cyril!!! Too little, too late..

South Africans deserve better than an incompetent ANC government!!

And what ya gonna do Squirrel 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

Than stop being corrupt loser

Only if all the mattresses can be thrown away.

In the UK for instance, when a mobile company’s has network coverage outage, or a landline phone company has not been able to provide continuous service, the company refunds customers their rentals or pays damages. ESKOM has been broken from within. African Govts, l give up.

Why there is load shedding when many companies have closed.something is not right Mr President.The usage of electricity has decline since many factories are on holiday.

PhalaPhalaFarmGate

Your the ceo if SA, everyone pays your fcking salary, SO FO SOMETHING!

Everything they touch turns into 💩, it is in their dna.

If uyayazi indutsu yindutsu le

Okay that’s nice. What is he doing about it?

Did anyone listen to that address? Because mina I couldn't abuse my ears🚮

Gmmph

Lol who's stopping this phalaphalafarmgatecriminal from fixing Eskom?🙄 Anybody still take him serious?

Western puppet

He must stop hide in money in the mattress

We are tired of waiting President

Ei lescefe ucyril 😏

Somebody tell him , We need our land back.

Welele 👀

PhalaphalaFarmgate Matresses dollars

Wonder what good shit he smoking

This man knows what has to be done but intentionally decides to do the opposite.

That is the Nuclear power you media told us was nonsense, you are also part of the problem!

Mmmmnxim 🚮

Seriously? Is he really serious about corruption? It’s been so many years that he promised at end to corruption and yet its escalating with no convictions!! 😡😡😡

Uvele ubone ukuthi weeehhh🥱

We have not forgotten the CR 17 envelopes. He must come clean on Phala Phala. A woman was abused at Phala Phala. He is the last one that must talk about Corruption.

Heard all that before .... get on with delivering!

He should be starting at the booysens police station with all the corrupt policeman white and black warrant officers that are on rhe drug lords payroll in Turfontein

we all know u wont finish your second term....after ....all u did to us the people of SA. ...a black out festvive is how u tank us ...

Mnxmmm !!!!!

Thank you Ramabosa for giving SA a black out crismast.....

Please make it happen Mr President.

Okay he is saying this mara what is he doing about it🤨

Isn't time for him to act than to give the nation all these promises?

True, but until the ANC has been out of power for at least 10 years, the South African people can only expect less and less

Illegal immigration is a burden to infrastructure

Really! Seriously

Action Now Mr President!

Less words, more action, Mr President would mean much more to all South Africans.

If nje he can tell us on we can tackle this NEW WORLD ORDER that is coming than I will respect and honor his as y President

South Africa is under siege! We need a new governing system. We should vote for the people that can resolve these issues and ensure that this never happens again

...

If he was a true leader, he was supposed to switch off his electricity until the problem of Eskom is solved.

The soft talking president/politician. As for 'The implimenting president/politician' I don't know.

Yes we do but we don’t get that do we

Grandstanding again ! WHAT ARE YOU DOING ABOUT ALL THESE CRISIS’S?

Na next uzoba esasho the same story... Lobaba wenu we Ankole 🤣

And yet all those things got worse under his watch... 🤔

Action speaks louder than words

Mxmn

We are exhausted with bla bla stories

Aaah mara President how long have you been saying these things, you know it hurts us the way we believeth you going to do better for our country!

Says the ringleader

Blah Blah Blah …… election talk …..

South African deserves another president that knows what he doing not using his nose to think

Haai nooit kom jy dit nou eers agter…….o fk Marelize nee regtig….

He gave us that promise since he was a deputy president

He's been saying this forever and nothing happens instead we continue to suffer and corruption thrives.... Oh dear South Africans..

This guy i dont knw why he speaks, his full of lues and empty promises, how many years his been saying that but still no change, cable theft is niw at a rise, this loadshedding thing yikaka yomnqund ka dothi

Didn't he know that haibo?

So; the same issues we've been hearing about for over 10 years.

CyrilRamaphosa 🙄😲 while PhalaPhalaFarm is an ominous cloud over you & your beloved MYANC continueing with corruption 🙄😲 MbalulaFikile GwedeMantashe1 MamaAction_RSA DrGwenR RonaldLamola Talk is cheap.

We all deserve a country without the anc, problem solved

How can we when we have corrupt,money laundering,tax evading,innocent victims torturing kidnapper like him as president;when we have people assassinated and silence to protect his crimes even to elevate him to where he is,when he bribed people to president and isn't charged

I would say he can say nice things, always, buy I would say he never performs! Let me see the president walk the talk and then I would be fine.

What has cyril done for SA?

You mean a country without you

Like we dont know that already…

Talk ….Talk…Talk ….No Action-Tsek

Welele inganekwane🙄

Quite right. So what tough action is he going to take?

So do something about it other than talking about it

Ha ha

What are you doing to manage this?

He keeps saying this. So what has he solved since being elected?

Just a reminder that Cyril Ramaphosa has not yet built a Smart City he promised to build in 2019. Alex residents are still waiting for their 1 million houses. He said loadshedding will be over in 18 months to 2 years,it’s been 5 years.

Talk is cheap Mr President

ahh you know that he just talk, these government dont care about humanity nor their citizens

this guy's a clown 🤡

While he does businesses and avoid paying tax by keeping foreign currency that exceeds legal limits conducting dodgy business deal😆 🤣 😂 😹 😆 🤣

Yes, boss. Waiting for you to shake things up and make it happen

He always say. Niggah can't do

This guy must be prosecuted on lies only

South Africans Deserve to Live in a country, Without the ANCorrupt .

Mxm

MxM

The President has been at the helm of the Eskom war room since 2014. So its all blah blah blah

Screw this liar killer money launderer useless president ever....

I'm sick of this man, I really am

Fu...

🤣🤣🤣

I agree with President Ramaphosa, who also happen to be the only leader currently able to deliver on this ideal.

Does he think we are president? Man is just telling us the problems and never the solution

Mxm he doesn't even believe what he's saying.🙄

Yeah right. Have we not heard of that before. He has a way of communicating as an observer and not an active participants in making things happen. Poor leadership at the least

He's always talking this one with nose of size 14🙄🚮

MXM! RAMAAKA!

Hehe, who wouldn't say that?

Cyril Ramaphosa says lots of things. I don't know of a more insincere man.
