SONA 2020: The time for talking is over, President must take action
12 February 2020
The time for merely talking about South Africa's problems is over. It will not save the country. Action must be taken immediately.
Thus, there are great expectations for President Cyril Ramaphosa's State of the Nation Address (SONA) which will take place this Thursday. The people of South Africa are looking to the President to provide them with solutions for the various problems that are currently crippling the country and its economy.
In his previous three SONAs, the President himself clearly identified the problems in the country. They include, among other things, unemployment, a lack of economic growth, crime and the struggling public enterprises that swallow up tax money.
These problems are general knowledge, so the President does not need to reiterate what they are. What the FF Plus wants to know is what he and his government are going to do to solve these problems. We want to see action and we want to hear what practical steps will be taken.
