I found President Cyril Ramaphosa’s State of the Nation Address this year much more refreshing when compared to his other speeches.
His decision to address the death of South African soldiers in the DRC before anything else gave the impression of someone who is in touch with the mood of the country following this tragedy.
Equally impressive was the resolute stance he has taken in the face of pressure from the most powerful country in the world, the United States of America, regarding South Africa’s domestic policies.
However, most of the stuff he spoke about, was not really new.
