President Cyril Ramaphosa ushered in his new administration with bold promises of overcoming poverty within a generation.
Ramaphosa also promised to deal with the challenges facing the country, including the squandering of resources and corruption.
Ramaphosa said while the challenges were real, they were not insurmountable. “Let us declare our shared determination that we shall end poverty in South Africa within a generation.” “Let us forge a compact for an efficient, capable and ethical state, a state that is free from corruption, for companies that generate social value and propel human development, for elected officials and public servants who faithfully serve no other cause than that of the public.”
“The EFF is going to defend this report of the public protector like it did with her predecessor Thuli Madonsela’s state of capture report,” he said. DA leader Mmusi Maimane said Ramaphosa’s Cabinet must be smaller, not have criminals in it and be streamlined to ensure jobs were delivered. Shingange was confident that South Africans would give Ramaphosa and his new administration a chance.
