  • The opposition parties still insist on the expropriation of land without compensation while the Health Minister said the NHI will be implemented gradually in line with available financial resources.

The article discusses the reactions of the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) and the newly formed uMkhonto weSizwe (MK) Party to President Cyril Ramaphosa's State of the Nation Address (SONA). Both parties criticized the speech for being filled with empty promises and lacking substance. EFF leader Julius Malema accused Ramaphosa of repeating old promises without addressing critical issues like unemployment, poverty, and inequality. Similarly, MK Party's spokesperson, Nhlamulo Ndhlela, described the SONA as a "wish list" that did not offer concrete solutions or timelines for implementation. They highlighted the government's failure to deliver on previous commitments, suggesting that Ramaphosa's address was more about maintaining political rhetoric than effecting real change.
