The public spectacle of President Cyril Ramaphosa fumbling to wear a mask, following one of the mind-numbing âfamily meetingsâ, best sums up the ineptitude of his administration.
In a strange twist of fate, Ramaphosaâs ineptitude expresses itself most profoundly in the very areas he promised the nation would define his Presidency. The areas include the economy, job creation, sorting out the mess in Eskom and SAA and busting corruption, as well as how Covid-19 pandemic is being handled.
Ramaphosa has failed on every front. The economy has gone on a downward spiral. The outlook remains bleak. Unemployment has rocketed. Youth unemployment worsened, at 74.7%. Evidently, the promise of a million paid internships by last year was just a pipe dream.
