It’s easy to be cynical about the state of the nation address and the government’s inability to deliver on the many promises it contains. And we should be, but the danger is that one overlooks signs of real progress, like President Cyril Ramaphosa’s response to the youth unemployment crisis.
I’m not talking about the 1% “top slice” that will be shaved off every department’s budget — unless Ramaphosa intends to use the resultant R20bn to extend the employment tax incentive . This youth wage subsidy is one of the few interventions that has actually increased youth employment.
If bigger is better, we are certainly on the right path.

South Africans must rally behind NHI, Cyril Ramaphosa urgesThe president says the government will implement it ‘in an incremental fashion’ and aim to cover the whole country by 2025 I am tired of government telling me what I must do. They should focus on what they must do - arrest the looters, retrieve the money, fix our schools, police, healthcare and primarily the economy. Until then they can all sit down. Must the 3% of South Africans that pays tax rally, or the 97% that don't ? Mandatory = have no choice bozo .
