Considering that interest rate decisions have an important impact on our economy and the lives of voters, this is extraordinary. Firing Peters would be a clear sign of a new energy injection in his often-stated but rarely practised commitment to renewal. Ramaphosa has been exposed for his total lack of management or leadership capacity and that his BBE-gifted wealth is just yet another bit of proof that connected cadres and their lackeys are in it for the delicious benefits of the Eat As Much As You Can buffet on the South African gravy train.Cannot agree more.

Go for the party with the best record of delivery. Which is probably what you wanted in the first place. Leaders come and go, delivery last much longer. It affects your children and they do not care what the present leaders look like or behave. Check out the best city, best province for service delivery. Which party runs them?I had great hope when CR was appointed. However, there appears to be no one in the ANC who has the ability to fulfill the requirements of the task.
But on important matters, SA is worse off under him: unemployment, crime, corruption, loadshedding are up; the economy, education, transport, accountability are down. And for various reasons, the SAP and other para-police bodies are not up to the job of proving corruption because they were the first to be destroyed, back in Mandela’s day.It went far beyond getting rid of military ranks in what is meant to be a civil police force.

President Ramaphosa announces R1bn housing plan in Northern CapePresident Cyril Ramaphosa has announced a mega housing plan in the Northern Cape. The project is estimated to cost R1 billion and is expected to be completed by July 2025 at the latest. The Northern Cape's planned 4 000 houses to address its backlog crisis is a"fulfilment of a dream", President Cyril Ramaphosa told residents who gathered in a sod-turning event in Kimberley, in the Sol Plaatjie Local Municipality.
