The post-Sona 2023 political landscape points to a challenging year for Ramaphosa.
It is a truism that an organisation’s culture is determined by its leader. And since politics is not an exercise in objectivity, it is for this reason that several expected decisions by Ramaphosa will determine how he will navigate between being regarded as a heroic figure and a victim of political persecution. Objectively, it is hard not to agree with critics that a state of emergency will open the floodgates of collusion and corruption.
Another major decision facing Ramaphosa is the much-anticipated cabinet reshuffle. Deputy President David Mabuza’s announcement that he resigned, only to be asked by the presidency to hang on, provides fascinating insight into how difficult it can become to exercise what some may regard as the mundane task of replacing cabinet ministers.
There is a fierce power war waging within the ANC. As a result, time will tell whether the president will be brave enough to replace poor-performing ministers instead of using proxies such as the new minister of electricity.
