The GOOD Party in Tshwane welcomes the resignation of Mayor, Randall Williams.

This year’s SONA felt flatter than those that have gone before because so many South Africans have lost faith in the State’s ability to turn the country around.

The EFF’s annual charade has passed its sell-by date. Their theatrics are predictable as they try to land a new hit following their one hit wonder “Pay Back the Money”.

The President has the power to begin to turn the nation’s mood around, and GOOD calls on him to use this power by announcing three real commitments in this year’s SONA:

But if we are truly to honour Dr Ginwala, we must complete the business she could not finish in her lifetime of dealing with the inequalities wrought by our past.

The ANC’s proposal to declare an electricity State of Disaster reflects its desperation to appear to be doing something, anything, to create the impression that it is nominally in control.

Government must consider regulating the entire electricity supply chain, as with fuel, to stop middlemen (in this instance, municipalities) from extracting unaffordable mark-ups from struggling consumers.

The GOOD party in the Western Cape welcomes the provincial matric pass rate of 81.4% for the class of 2022, up by 0.2%.

We celebrate the matric class of 2022, across the country, for their remarkable achievement despite the many challenges they faced during their final years in school.

The only beneficiaries of the shocking 18.6% electricity tariff increase announced last week, besides Eskom, are South African municipalities.
