Whilst other parties have rubbished the interventions, saying this address was a tactic to deflect criticism that he endured by the country’s former presidents this past weekend. DA National Spokesperson Solly Malatsi says, “One has to wonder that, the way that, even the timing of this presser – that it is more of a response to try and extinguish some of the political pressure that he’s been getting with the criticism from Presidents Mbeki, Motlanthe and Jacob Zuma over the last few years. Because there was nothing substantive, nothing groundbreaking in substance in what should be a new era in governance in South Africa.
IFP leader Velenkosini Hlabisa says, “They have effectively failed our country in every respect. even this one, is only going to target weak and non-significant people – it will not touch the high-ranking leaders of the ANC who are implicated in the state capture.”
Cyril, just like his predecessors put their party first. This address the nation mumbo jumbo was just a tick box exercise which he used to pay lip service to the R1billion Zondo report. No surprises there considering his numerous commitments around Eskom and loadshedding 😏
