Director and Chief Economist of Efficient Group Dawie Roodt says South Africans will be wasting their time listening to President Cyril Ramaphosa’s State of the National Address (SONA) next week.

Unemployed men wait on a street corner in the hope of getting casual work.

In last year’s SONA, President Ramaphosa stated that he was set to inspire hope and assure South Africans that not all was lost as government was slowly but surely winning the war against the COVID-19 pandemic which ravaged the economy and destroyed jobs. Last year, it was reported that joblessness among South Africans continued to climb with the unemployment rate having increased from 34.9% to 35.3% in the fourth quarter of 2021.

Load shedding will be suspended specifically for that

josephletsholo1 True

Will there be loadshedding during the SONA? Just switch the whole country off until it is finished.

Who will have electricity to switch on the tv? We have reached a stage whereby we don’t care anymore

Load shedding will prevent people from watching sona

I'll bet there will be no loadshedding Only bullshitshedding

It's like listening to a verimark advert for a non stick pan. Full of empty promises and the food always sticks

So what they should be doing?

People want jobs not promises of jobs or 🏘 thts are far less than their value on paper. As politician if u come to my 🏡 and tell to vote for u while u are staying nice house with 24h surveillance security u not talking to me .

KgantsiThato True, Rupert can just release a statement

We want to know the true SONA. The failing infrastructure, education, health, crime, jobs.. Not lies. Anything else can go to hell.

Whoever wrote this article has the best interest of South Africans at heart and not hypocrite journalism that we are subjected to every day🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

It’s always a waste of time to listen to his empty promises

It's called State of the Failures Address. Who has time for that. A Failed President

And shouldn't be in Cape Town! SONA must be at the Union Buildings where people work and aren't on holiday!!

another promises🤣🤣🤣

Mina I've never listened to lomgodoyi unamanga

I'm definitely sure that on that day we won't have loadshedding even though they always say generators are broken

Does anyone even listen to CyrilRamaphosa PresidencyZA GovernmentZA anymore? He is probably the biggest disappointment since the apocalypse.

I don't watch that circus anymore and it's been 4yrs. Any normal persons wouldn't be lied to continuously by Cyril if they take themselves seriously.

Do you guys even know what he is going to talk about, I don’t think it will be a waste because we need to hear all his lies and challenge. We need to listen so that we understand how deep is he gonna sabotage us further more. We are really in need of a better leader or party.

Just wait when Julius malema & EFF disrupt the SONA, you will see people hating nje. South Africans will say they want to listen

Ramaphosa's ANC Government is useless, only a fool and those Clever Blacks Journalists will watch SONA and praise Ramaphosa

South Africans will be wasting their times voting for ANC in 2024

Some of us won't be...

I'll listen he's my President can't change that, and i wish him all the luck and power to bring back the lost trust, and shape up this economy for better.

Yes because he is always making empty promises and blaming what he calls state capture

Graduated in 2012, today is the 4th of February 2023 and I'm still unemployed, no internship. My heart is broken. 💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔

There will be no electricity to watch that nonsense called Sona, anyway he will be repeating lies and lies... smart city, bullet train 🤣 🤣 🚅

Well all he does is f&cking lie all time everyone knows this now!

Obviously as usual Ramaphosa will play a racist card on his address, and his 'people' will be united against a better South Africa.

True

SABC is another oposition to the ANC interesting.....

Who in his right mind listen to that fake wannebe. I refuse to listen to anything he say. He is not my leader and never ever will be

Hhe banna. Sabc is the new opposition

Can you plz share the contact details of that mlungu, I want to congratulate him on his statement 🤔

True, recycling of the same old, same old.

Yes because it'll be more empty promises

SAns must listen to new dawn and renewal...

No problem load shedding will take care of that .

True

I would rather listen to paint dry

He will be cementing the Anc's alliance of corruption and looting enterprises with the EFF, now that South Africa will be in bad fingers.

mpho_pitsi_za Guy says what I been thinking.... and I feel bad that that is how I feel, but I cannot help it.😭😭
