Cyril Ramaphosa’s speech to parliament listed South Africa’s old problems – but no new solutions

      By Vinothan Naidoo, University of Cape Town     South African President Cyril Ramaphosa’s opening of parliament speech successfully captured the spirit of a diverse and cohesive multi-party government ready to get down to work.

          By  Keith Gottschalk, University of the Western Cape     South Africa’s 2024 general election, with its devastating loss of a majority for the ruling African National Congress (ANC), is also damaging for President Cyril Ramaphosa (71).
