Opposition parties gear up for #SONA2019 debate | IOL News

Cape Town - Just days after delivering his first State of the Nation Address of the sixth democratic Parliament, President Cyril Ramaphosa is already feeling the heat.

Similarly, opposition parties are preparing to up the ante during the debate on the address this week - where they will demand more answers on how the president will turn around the economy, address the education crisis and improve the collapsing health-care system.During his speech, while the president was describing the kind of country South Africans must imagine and dream about for the future, EFF leader Julius Malema shouted: “Hey, we don’t pay you to dream.

Intellidex’s head of capital markets research Peter Attard Montalto said there were positives and negatives in Ramaphosa’s speech, but the big issue was the R230 billion Eskom bailout. “The president’s pronouncements on Eskom are broadly in alignment with businesses’ view on how to deal with the crises engulfing the power utility, particularly the imminent appointment of a chief restructuring officer,” said Busa in a statement.
