It's amazing, just after his 2hours speech, stage 3 loadshedding implemented, then few hours later stage 4! That on its own, says a lot about his speech

[@user-xg8qc7pk9x]

Really no comments 🥺

[@user-wv3js1iq5t]

He was bubbling as usual, jst couldn't waste my time watching that address full of lies, n recycling lies, avoiding major subjects like the Phalaphala issue, loadshedding etcetc. What is the use of the Minister of Electricity? Waste of taxpayers money.I hate everything abt that man😡🤮

[@nattyleecarter8111]

Yes, I watched the Tucker Carlso and Putin interview that reported on REAL FACTS and not this rubbish.

[@user-ix9sj2sb7t]

I always tell people that the ANC will implement stage 10 load shedding immediately should they win elections

[@Magomarele-xo9cm]

We were Loadshed the whole 2hour of his speach

[@PaulMabena]

This will be the last time we hear lies from you people.. We are done with you. Period!

SA remains world record holder for the highest unemployment rate in the world. ANC has failed the young people dismally

[@ACTIVIST_MDTANDO]

And if you are employed you work under pressure because you afraid of dismissal,Infact bosses doesnt treat workers well

[@bonakelencemane6418]

Your mother is a global embarrassment for giving birth to you

[@fatiema276]

Unemployment rate is not the failure of the ANC the DA and its alliances are to be blamed for this....they are withholding opportunities and have closed many doors

[@fatiema276]

South Africa has been working for stronger alliance in Brics a strategic approach for advancement in the future

[@alterlesego7780]

​@fatiemateladiia1256 mxm really this 1

[@mecurian485]

Gotta love the way he goes through state capture as if his party had nothing to do with at, and as if the criminals have been caught and prosecuted, and that state capture has been overcome. He should be thankful for the colour of his skin, because there is no way any human being could say those lies without turning bright red.

This guy insults our intelligents. He thinks he's talking to his children.

[@jonye7511]

But there are people who want to be spoken to like this. They don't mind crumbs and broken promises as long as it's the party of their ancestors.

[@jordanmntungwa3311]

No. he speaks to his children with respect and without promises. For his children he just does what he's supposed to as their father without first making a promise. eg. he doesn't promise the school that the fees will be paid. they are just paid

[@tashakim5387]

You can't compare the country to 30 years ago then blame all the failure of the ANC on Apartheid! You had 30 YEARS to fix it.

[@Quintin99]

Cyril has embarrassment and disgraced himself in front of billions and billions of people from all over the world. What a terrible speech.

His skin is as thick as the Buffalos he breeds.

[@boks.mothibe]

Most likely it's not loadshedding. It may be because of stolen cables or electrical fault which are not easy to fix within hours. I'm speaking from an engineer's perspective.

So to Ramaphosa everything is improving and getting better? Can’t the man see what’s happening around him? He’s now bringing in the unemployment benefit fund to make our people not to think of creating work but rather to be more dependent on the government. It’s shameful! Ramaphosa is running down this beautiful country.

[@koubimathese4150]

Freedom power responsibility Reverse psychology racism in South Africa would involve promoting the idea that empowering the black population is actually detrimental to the country's progress and development. This could involve spreading misinformation about the capabilities and contributions of black individuals, and advocating for policies that limit their access to education, work opportunities, and business ownership. This approach would seek to undermine the progress made in promoting black empowerment in South Africa, and perpetuate the marginalization of other racial groups, such as the Coloured people living in poverty in the Cape Flats. It would also seek to create division and resentment among different racial groups, rather than promote unity and equality. This kind of reverse psychology racism is harmful and goes against the principles of justice and fairness.

[@emilloffler1216]

BEE and BBEE is worse for South Africa than however bad Apartheid may have been.

[@sundayvilakazi194]

what was it exactly that we had..?? state of capture or state capture..?? the state was never captured because to label something as state capture u mean the judiciary, parliament, the army and the president were captured, to which this was supposed to be state of presidential office capture not state capture
