Opening of Parliament Address by President Cyril Ramaphosa - FULL SPEECH

[saadicksebandeke]

It has always hurt me to see goods from as far as Vietnam flooding the African continent yet South Africa with its massive industrial capacity is sleeping while its graduates are jobless.

South African youths are supposed to be producing every product that the continent should've bought from Asia, Europe and the US.

It would be nice to also publish all the SMEs as and when they get the funding.. just like Sir Gayton. Publishing lists of those funded should be our new way of doing things

[koketsomokone]

I know that to many this sounded like more of what we've heard before and nothing knew. I agree. However, I also think that this was his best speech since 'Thuma Mina'. It's not because he said anything that was revolutionary; it's because for the first time, he gave us something which sounds more like a very high level rough plan than a list full of waffling and wishes.
If it is implemented, the GNU would've done well to justify itself. If not then all those parties will be buried with Cyril's legacy. No pressure.

As I seriously consider migrating to Mother Africa in Kenya, from the Caribbean, I'm also very interested in South Africa, in order to visit there later on. I'm fascinated by South Africa's natural beauty, and also its history. I'd like to learn about the Zulu nation also. Greetings from the Caribbean.

DA making a difference big time. Well done - a new book begins.

[thapelomphulo]

This government will be no different. How can you form a government from different parties with different policy stance. They still don't have a plan. 2 months after elections.. still no plan in place. Same music..

[ntandongcobo]

I've spent my whole hour listening to him.
All I hear from this is promises as always, some of them were already made back in 2019🤦.

[busisiwelekgwathi]

Hayi we will see whether its true or not

[ahmedjooma]

We have thousands of unemployed black graduates. Yet, the Skills Development Levy Funds remain unspent and skills are being imported out of Europe and elsewhere. Very rarely from Africa. Why? The new Minister of Home Affairs says he will emphasise the visas process for this purpose. Why? So that big business can profit offf the skills of the declinig Global North, and this is largely European. So this is a new form of the 'job colour bar'. The jackboot will be on those who are undocumented and unskilled, who are kept in precarious limbo and uncertainty, so that farmers, restuaranters and the wider hositality industry, construction and retail can all use this precarious status to pay pitiful wages. These migrants are largely from Africa and to a lesser extent Asia South Africans are beign sidestepped because foreigners are in a weaker position than their South African counterparts. Then theres the cho chokracy! Those short sighted state officials taking cho cho from foreigners. You are pointing a shotgun to your feet!!!!
