Ramaphosa’s G20 address underscores the need for constitutional reform
Pretoria — The think tank and advocacy group Lex Libertas has concluded that President Cyril Ramaphosa’s live address regarding the G20 underscores why South Africa urgently needs meaningful constitutional reform toward decentralisation and self-governance.
The President dismissed concerns by minority communities and the United States as “baseless allegations” and accused unnamed groups and individuals of spreading misinformation. Yet this stands in stark contrast to domestic reality. As Lex Libertas has previously noted, the South African government continues to deny the very crises it is responsible for — including targeted violence, discriminatory legislation, and the ongoing pursuit of expropriation without compensation. The President condemns alleged misinformation abroad while presiding over policies at home that inflame division and undermine constitutional rights.
Dr Ernst Roets, Executive Director of Lex Libertas, has described the President’s appeal for “dialogue” as disingenuous. “The National Dialogue he champions as a solution has consistently excluded voices raising legitimate concerns. The call for citizens to solve South Africa’s problems rings hollow when the government itself denies the existence of these problems and shows little genuine willingness to engage.”
South Africa cannot repair relations with the United States — or the wider international community — while refusing to confront its own governance failures. Restoring trust requires more than speeches; it requires structural reform that empowers communities, limits the abuse of centralised power, and lays the foundation for a viable political order.
Lex Libertas will continue to advocate for such reforms and for an honest reckoning with the country’s deepening crisis.
Lex Libertas is a think tank and advocacy group working towards a viable political dispensation in South Africa, based on the principles of freedom, decentralisation, and self-governance.

@FreddieOos2285@Theuns_Louw@JacoKleynhans The biggest problem with your chain of thought is that you think excluding 4% of the population will help 90% of the population. 30 years of the new government, and we are still going backward.
This billboard was unlawfully vandalized and removed by the ANC-led Johannesburg City Council.
Let’s share it widely so that tens of thousands more people can see it.
We will not give the ANC their way. The world must know that South Africa is the most race-regulated country in the world.
@SABCNews You can't legislate a class into wealth. You can assist capable individuals in being successful. The more restrictions you have, the less market there is. It's not difficult to see the reason we have had no economic growth.
@EdKrassen Each cross was carried by the family of the victims of farm murders the https://t.co/HtKbCiN9RP is where their names are engraved on the crosses. The roadside was during the farm murder protests. #BlackMonday
Trump just played his ace card.
The media spent years covering up the targeted killings of White farmers in South Africa——because it didn't fit their narrative.
He confronted the issue head-on beside President Ramaphosa, under the bright lights of live TV.
What happened next left the press scrambling for cover.

@Tom47096338@DavidKrug614115@Rolandschoeman You talking about white politicians, not every white person is a politician remember. You can apply this rationality to the current situation but not to that of 31 years ago?
@Brown_built@SAfrikaCath@BafanaSurprise Yep! One of those 142 Race Based laws is the quota system. It's weird how people legislated into a position are looked down upon. But even so, we still love our team.
@b_bophelo59520@belindajadavies@RyanCoetzee@Recon1_ZA@elonmusk You are correct in that is how it's supposed to work. The reality is different, I would like to see the receipts. Proof of purchase for Standard Bank, MTN, McDonalds, Seacom, and countless others. Who Paid? Who benefitted it wasn't the South African impoverished.
@asa_bebula@KenUnit101@Aku_700@elonmusk Shooo, IQ is not education. It's the ability to recognise patterns, solve puzzles, and yes, a little general knowledge. Maybe learn how to think and not what to think next time.
@tathy_pedro@Aku_700@elonmusk Was waiting to see the response that considers the mass emigration under the inept ANC rule. Not to mention, the 60000+ brutally murdered and tortured at their homes.
