Funny how the Hall is full of people 50 years+ but people who have reached the age of 35+ are deemed unemployable because they are old😑

[@chronosmagasaurus2813]

Great point lass. These boomers really dont give 2 shites about us

[@jmadox007]

The millennials need to rise up and start taking over from the boomers, same story over and over again.

[@hlengiwe7250]

I agree when you over 35 you must retire with no money but they all of them are over 60

[@mercyjay3136]

Over 60 with no innovative ideas to help the country or even do what they've been saying they'll do for the country. Just old people chowing the money waiting for a lavish funeral, while the citizens get poorer by the day. Not to even mention how we must have connections in order to get the job that we studied for. And as for the officials that sell RDP houses while the rightful owners stay in backyards that belong to non-south african citizens....I guess it's a topic for another day🥲

[@leendormaphanga8426]

It funny how S.A gives people hope when the year start but come end of the year people who end up gaining are the same people who actually have more than enough and the rest suffer

[@bertramfuscher]

You conveniently forgot to mention the devastation your own Party caused to the economy and other aspects of our democracy. Mr President.

[@theophilusbondo6109]

The South African president is doing such a remarkable work for the people of South Africa in 2022!

[@bertramfuscher]

I will write you Sona speech for you next time I know it word for word. Wether it's you or another they're all based on an automatic that's turned into a manual . It's like water and oil it don't mix.

[@errolbasson1836]

@Bertram You are talking nonsense and you know that.

[@errolbasson1836]

@Theophillis You are right. His critics think so much of him that they expect him to do everything while they sit on the sideline.and hope that he will fail. Self-sufficient against the pandemic In less than 2years.What an accomplishment.

[@errolbasson1836]

[@thapelomorare1484]

Am not a political guy. But everything this man promises he carries it out. Fast business registration process, switch from analog to digital broadcast, Ford motors in Pretoria, roads, there are projects everywhere and I can see them caried out to the finish, I know a few people who are hired as assistant teachers as he said, I saw two bridges are being build around my area, many young blacks are getting rich due to business opportunities. So I believe he's not just promising, he's also fulfilling. And we all know when he took over the South African economy was heading down with Jacob Zuma, no disaster, nothing. But when he took over even during and after covid we can all notice an uptrend in the economic casts. So I believe this guy is a hope of South Africa. I even wish he was running his own party, it was even gonna be better. Yes he has some few scandal, but I promise not as many politicians are better than this man.

[@thapelomorare1484]

I wish some people can be given opportunities as presidents. I believe they will learn to appreciate this man🤞

18:10 “unemployment has been caused by low growth”. That’s impossible. Low growth would be low increase in employment. Unemployment is a dwindling economy not a growing economy.

NSFas students continue to suffer, the R350 given to people from the billons that have been reserved to serve less than 30 million individuals, how do you explain that? I mere R500mil is way more than enough to give more than R350 to each but guess who’s benefiting the most? What can you possibly buy with that??? This is ridiculous. Even worse some people are being denied this money for non validated results and there is no of escalating this.

There is no multiparty in China and surely no democracy according to South African standards. The question is, must we copy China's system of governance?

[@jmadox007]

Are you aware that there are international powers controlling what goes on in the country, who ever takes his place will probably be a puppet master as well. The problem lies in the system that has drained everything from the country and the people. Until the system is changed, then we will start seeing improvements. The same thing has happened over and over and over again. It happens in all countries. That's why I personally think the power is in the younger generation because the boomers have capitalized the world but the only problem is that the younger generation have been shaped according to their agendas. Just my 2 cents.

[@marulevideos1574]

Some of us are never satisfied because foolishly I would made the best President than my predecessor. South African politics are full of critics, back biters, gossip mongers, jealousyand ethnicity to name but a few. On his first speech as President CR, made a plea to all political parties to join hands and work together for a better South Africa. He was open to any party willing to discuss, differ or critisize him, but instead of doing the right thing we have politicians who are always keen on removing Presidents, bent on destroying the character of anyone with an ambition of becoming President, and thus those who might qualify to be President, will always be afraid of running the country. Should you bring the corrupt to justice you are in for a high jump. Who then should be the next President, is it Malema, who will be all talk and no action, a young ma who has no regard for the law, let alone disrespect for elder people and has a foul mouth. A young man who thinks he is far much more than everybody else. A young manwho does not know how to source out funds for the benefit of the country's poor. How is possible to be a millionaire without working for your keep and howthen is it possible to run a country without funds. The standard of our Black people in the realization that in order to be self sufficient one has to work.Going to school is a way of empowering the child to learn from his elders. No child can teach another, unless he is a genius. CR has worked for the ANC as much as Malema who always thinks he is a better critic and back biter, he is against everything others stand for. His language is not about building South Africa, but vote of no confidence, impeachment, remove and foul language. He has claimed to hate the Whiteman and yet goes to the same , for legalrepresation. Governent all the unemployed, hence the private sector should assist. I am an employer in the private sector and without the likes of CR we cannot make it in your regime. The utterances made about White people has hurt the South African economy so bad that government's hand was compelled to give its citizens a social grant in all it's forms, because the EFF is biting the hand that feeds it, and no back up. The EFF will also promise people jobs, land, wealth , without action. Recently Malema commented about loving Africans, and what is funny he visited some restuarents conducting a survey of employees, nationality, and scolded the employers.I wonder if thereare no screws loose. The EFF has dismally failed to bring forth concrete evidence of it's accusations against the three Presidents, and should be brought to book for their uncalled for lies, because that is perjury. Though our children are in possessionof degrees, they lack the physical experience required, theoretically they wel,l, but you don't have the tools to teach them how to implement that theory. I am so sorry for you, because what you do to others will come back to bite you. Let the ANC ficks its mess, because you are not prepared to build,but destroy. Funny , why you visited former President Zuma, after you forced him out of office. I believe that if you were to be president you, woulddeclare yourself a life president, and we would go hungry like other African countries. All the Whitemen you see, were born and bread here, and unknown to you they played a very big role in the laws of this country. Your mentor the late president Mugaberobbed and chased them out of the country, as much as did Mozambique, but now those presidents could give nothing to their people, and hunger drove them to South Africa. The Mozambicans have learned a lot of skills from their oppressors, but infighting causes failure in rebuilding their country and economy. They use the South African Rand. Get your facts straght man.
