When President Cyril Ramaphosa made his last State of the National Address (SONA), the outraged reaction of Ayanda Allie of Build One South Africa (BOSA) went viral. Now a Gauteng MPL, BizNews got her reaction to his first opening address to Parliament under the new Government of National Unity (GNU). She says: “…this time around, we are of the view that the President has become a little bit more sober-minded, perhaps a little bit of humble pie helping him to assess the situation in the country better…” However, she warns: “…we need to make sure that, as Build One South Africa, we remain vigilant, and make sure that this is not just going to be a walk-in-the-park exercise of everybody just getting positions and getting paychecks and looking after their own bottom line and neglecting the citizenry. So our job becomes even more crucial as we're outside of the GPU, making sure that we hold various executives to account.”
