#SONA2019: Ramaphosa dreams while SA lives a nightmare - opposition | IOL News

Parliament - Leader of the Economic Freedom Fighters , Julius Malema, on Thursday slammed President Cyril Ramaphosa's State of the Nation Address as having abandoned the National Development Plan and the commitment to expropriate land.

"The president said nothing about the land. That which the president said is going to happen is what has been happening and has not delivered land to our people. The ANC has abandoned the agenda to expropriate land without compensation because they make black people stupid," Malema said. "If you look at jobs, he says two million jobs over the next 10 years, 200 000 jobs a year. That is what the National Development Plan says. The NDP speaks about 11 million jobs in 2030, so he will create two million jobs by 2029, meaning he has abandoned the NDP," Malema said.

"But is he going to stand up to unions such as Sadtu and his own party that wants to nationalise the Reserve Bank ... these are the questions he left South Africans wondering about. "For many South Africans at home tonight, they do not see an immediate plan for their future," Maimane said. Ramaphosa said it was time South Africa built a new 'smart city' with bullet trains and smart ways of doing things to coincide with the fourth industrial revolution.
