Morning my twitter friends.What can we expect from this year’s SONA?As for me I am not expecting anything that we have not heard in the past.Our economy has reached crisis levels.Unemployment has reached unacceptable levels .

[Precious Lugayeni @PreciousLugaye1]

The type of unemployment that SA has is structural https://t.co/XwvQJFSZGO it is important for the ANC today to unpack those structural impediments that cause this type of unemployment.Rhetoric is not going to help

Now that Saudi Arabia has joined BRICS and there is talk of de-dollarisation ,what is going to happen with the petro dollar arrangement they have with US

@lukhonamnguniI watched both the coalition dialogue and your On the Spot program.The problem with the coalition is that there is no mechanism to involve the voters in deciding who their party goes into coalition with

I am proud of the African Presidents who attended the Global Financing Pact Summit.They were clear about how Africa should be viewed by the developed world.Thumbs up specifically for the President of Kenya William Ruto and the President of South Africa Cyril Ramaphosa
