Ramaphosa’s promises and undertakings no longer carry any weight
4 September 2023
The ANC's style of governance entails standing idly by and looking on while problems develop, and then promising to rectify those problems – but everyone knows the promises are empty and will not realise.
In the speeches President Cyril Ramaphosa delivered over the weekend, he undertook to address crime, the murder of police members, the problem with illegal miners and poor border control.
These are some of the issues that the President mentions in every SONA, while making the same empty promises to act. He always says what ought to be done, but his words are never followed by actions.
The FF Plus is also very sceptical about the President's announcement that he himself will issue a summary of the panel report on the Russian ship, the Lady R. It will most probably be more of a cover-up than an honest attempt to inform the public of the actual events.
