John Steenhuisen at the Sona debate on Tuesday where he reminded Cyril Ramaphosa that SA already had two state banks, the Land Bank and the Post Bank, 'both bankrupt and riddled with corruption'.DA interim leader John Steenhuisen launched a blistering attack on President Cyril Ramaphosa on Tuesday afternoon, saying his time in government had moved from “a new dawn” to a “new despair”.

Steenhuisen said that since Ramaphosa has occupied the highest office in the land, more and more communities were running out of basic services such as water. He also slated the return of load-shedding by Eskom on Ramaphosa's watch, adding that more than a million people have lost their jobs during the president's term of office.

“I am not going to stand here and say that this happened on your watch, Mr President. That would be far too kind. It didn’t just happen on your watch, it happened by your own hand. You, sir, put us in this situation. You had your chance to fix it — and you blew it.
