Ramaphosa’s SONA expected to focus on youth, unemployment and service delivery

President Cyril Ramaphosa will deliver his fourth State of the Nation Address on Thursday, but this is his second since he was elected President after last year’s general elections.

As the nation awaits the address with bated breath, residents of the North West provincial capital Mahikeng say they expect President Ramaphosa to speak about tangible solutions to the country’s electricity and unemployment woes. Statistics South Africa on Tuesday released the fourth quarter Labour Force Survey which revealed that unemployment remains at 29.1%.

The EFF doesn’t know what the President is yet to say, what if he is going to fire PravinGordhan today, so let them listen to the end and wait for that moment if at all...

Every year SONA focuses on the samething that never improves... It's pointless

Rubbish

Same shit just a diffent day

What about the gangs operating in Cape Town.... What about the white farmer murders, creating acts of genocide . Low education grading passes giving students easy pass rates..disgusting. Give the country what it needs, not what YOU THINK it needs...the truth.

Blablabla 29.1% ....

Its only words that he speaks. Nothing gets done after he speaks it.

This SONA means nothing anymore coz I neva see a difference

Oy the speech focuses on youth unemployment. Practically, nothing is happening. Ramaphosa and his buddies are jokes

am sure the Bullet train will be outside and he will show pictures of new city he promised

lol in his last SONA he did speak abt this things ai, so its clear there is no solutions, politicians really takes people for a ride

SONA Things are just formalities, it doesn't bring life to South Africans

SONA will be laced with the usual empty promises aimed at nullifying the frustrations and giving false hope to the electorate whilst allowing the spoilt Parliamentarians to masquarade in their expensive outfits at this televised social event

Of Course......But ONLY Black Youth!! He Doesn't Give A Rats Ass About The Other Youth!!

Please Mr President say something about grand.

The SONA should be held earlier in the day preff the morning. At 7pm in the evening most of the MPs, Cab Mins and guests are tired, the weather is hot and it just becomes a struggle to stay awake. Esp if you've 'HEARD IT ALL BEFORE.'🤗Soon many will be dozing. SONA has become😴😴

The man failed

We have been hearing that for years now we no longer youth yet we have never got helped just a BS

BigDaddyDees1 ...and Apartheid. Never forget about Apartheid. It is the silver bullet in your arsenal.

Suka Ramaphosa thuma yena must step down lies

Mncm

Arrest all state capture and VBS thugs and recoup all money stolen if you are to create jobs. Decisiveness is what the nation wants to hear.

He must focus on firing Jamnandas and tito. And he must get a gf for tito lento ahlale eyipheka iyabheda ifuna isandla somfazi

Shem you are looking forward to listening to lies ne

Lies only..

He's clueless he's not talking about safeguarding jobs but how to create them, how can he create jobs when people in large numbers are being retrench, safe jobs first and then create new jobs, what a clueless president

Empty promises

After that sona, before 12 midnight, people will still be unemployed, come 2021 another sona will come snd make empty promises, the cycle will never end.

And firing jamnandas only

Mxcm!!!

Yall will complain about this hood rats that were in exile.while heros are no more and some are not recognised. nothing will ever change until ANC as a whole is removed from power

Again

Empty promises

No more plans,summits and whole of other nonsense we need jobs as in yesterday

And the 6 million jobs he promised the nation? The is failing the nation for not holding him accountable for the lies he's telling us..... Please respect us... PRASA is still in shambles..

I am surprised by the media/journalist since they get their news from social media, that they can't see how demotivated & bored SAns are of Cyril Ramaphosa & not even covering this type of news! SAns are over this guy!!

Inspectors deptoflabour are not doing their job well. How come illegal immigrants are more employed. SA'ns Vote and aliens gets the benefits.

I would like to hear more on crime fighting and justice system too, our country is on a tight leash by criminals

The last 2 SONAs were also focusing on these topics. It will be good to hear about the progress. What is the state of power supply? Without reliable power supply we can forget momentarily about economic growth and jobs such growth could produce.

Chaos at SONA where EFF going to get block before entering or all Hell break loose in or at parliament. Go example for future investors. Cannot wait to see this circus

Embrace more Socialism! More government expenditure. More government control. Promise people more free stuff. Result? More unemployment and poor service delivery. Nothing is ever free, someone is going to pay now or future generations.

More yarayara less action few months backs he retrenched employees from his farm now he want to focus on employment please mfethu we are not fools

Thuma mina must use the platform to announce that he is stepping down. His presidency is a complete disaster. He is worse than Zuma. Our_DA or Afriforum can have him

Same speech different time ...blah blah blah.....!!!!!

Me, I expect President to present tangible reforms that will drive up employment with focus on the youth etc. Not talk talk talk of we will we will.

are you trying to take KhuselaS ' job ? Unemployment is very high for your exercise atleast quote her instead of being the mouthpiece of PresidencyZA .Ight?

The usual lies.. 🤮

Lol focusing by speech

Nonsonso PravinMustFall

Lol

Keeps making empty promises

That's Economic challenges for now, 🙋‍♂️
