My Fellow South Africans,
A new year is upon us. As we welcome the New Year, we do so with reflection, resolve, and hope.
The year behind us was not easy.
Many South Africans faced the strain of a myriad of challenges over the past year.
It is a matter of concern that many South Africans are unemployed and that poverty and inequality persist. The high cost of living has imposed huge burdens of South African households.
Many communities live in fear of gangsters. Women and children live in fear of gender-based violence and femicide.
The delivery of basic services In our cities, towns and villages are often disrupted or do not exist at all.
These are difficult and complex challenges…
