#sonareply | "The debate saw the expression of divergent views on various matters by parties that make up the Government of National Unity. Sometimes these views were harshly expressed. It is to be expected that the 10 political parties that make up the GNU, with their very different political and ideological perspectives, will not always agree and will sometimes feel the need on platforms such as this to talk to their different constituencies. Despite these differences, these political parties are working well together in the Government of National Unity. We are finding ways of mediating our differences and remain focused on the actions that we are all committed to undertake. It is this that gives me confidence that the Government of National Unity will continue to promote stability and serve the people of South Africa, in accordance with our Statement of Intent and the Medium Term Development Plan. It is encouraging that a great many of the contributions in the debate appreciated the progress we have made as a country over the last 30 years." - State of the Nation Address Reply by President Cyril Ramaphosa #sona2025 #govzaupdates https://www.gov.za/news/speeches/president-cyril-ramaphosa-reply-debate-state-nation-address-13-feb-2025
