MK Party criticises Ramaphosa's administration

Looking back at 2024, the party described it as a year of broken promises and betrayal.

Party spokesperson Sipho Tyira said that Ramaphosa proved to be indecisive and only concerned with appeasing powerful people.

"South Africans continue to endure worsening socio-economic hardships due to the continued failure of Ramaphosa’s administration to deliver on its commitments and promises. A hollow dream of a new dawn was sold to the nation, yet South Africans continue to linger in the doldrums of a never-ending dusk," Tyira said.
