Mzansi citizens have all the SONA 2024 memes: "What is Sona without an EFF point of order?"

Social media users were quick to point out that he was not speaking the truth, he was making promises that he had made but never delivered before.

Mzansi was not impressed by the President's speech

Take a look at what the South Africans had to say about the President's SONA speech:

@SimthoBiyela was unhappy:

"So Cyril Ramaphosa decided to lie live on national TV through this State of the Nation address #SONA24. DO not trust that guy. He is a liar. I repeat DO NOT TRUST THAT GUY."

@msizijames shared:

"Just lies and vibes here… #SONA24."

@mbalimcdust commented:

"Even the President doesn’t believe what he just said about the EC and roads. Still great shout out for my friend @WandileSihlobo #SONA24."

@AldrinSampear recalled:

"The story of Tintswalo reminds me of that of Thandi from the National Development Plan."

@Cecilia_Mthwane angrily said:

"The #SONA24 is the ultimate indication that the ANC is shameless, and strives on lies and mockery of our real struggles. There should be no mercy for these spineless and heartless thugs. Vote them Out! #Abahambe."
