"Today she has dignity, and we say thank you very much because it shows that we do listen as a government. As I left, I immediately said to the premier and them in the local government, I said she must get her house."

During the address, Ramaphosa also urged those who are yet to receive their houses not to lose hope in their government. He added:

"This is what we want to do for many others throughout the country, and I know that there are some of you here who still do not have your houses. Don’t lose hope because your government is here, and we listen, and today we have listened to Mama Louw, and she’s got her house, and what a beautiful house."

However, Twitter users weighed in on the kisses and concluded that Ramaphosa is fishing for votes in the 2024 elections.

Steenhuisen blasts parties who fired Mpho Phalatse, says they want to get hands on city's R76 billion budget

In more news, Briefly News previously reported that DA leader John Steenhuisen has announced that the party will be taking to the court of law to contest the ousting of Mpho Phalatse as the Mayor of Johannesburg.

He said not only is Phalatse's removal unlawful, but it also shows the ANC's desperation to have access to the R76 billion that was allocated to the city.

According to News24, Steenhuisen made these comments during an address on the DA YouTube platform. He added that he mentioned a few weeks ago that something was brewing.
