Social media reacts to Ramaphosa’s first Sona speech

After Ramaphosa delivered his first Sona speech, reviews came in thick and fast on social media.

We take a look at them below;

Distinctly and proudly South African, with faint tones of FDR, JFK, and unforgettably, Bra Hugh. No doubt, there is much work to be done and faith to be restored, but these are steps taken forward #SONA2018 #SendMe https://t.co/rR9UqPfXl1

The SONA speech lacked content. It was high on inspiring confidence in government but hopeless for those who are already doing work with, for or recieving aid from the government.

People of #Azania must not be fooled again this is the same Ramaphosa who sold our land to the enemy and become a multi millionaire. Today he is talking of expropriation with out compensation while knowing that the constitution doesn't allow that. #SONA2018

Giving a speech a implementing things are two different things. #SONA2018

Very little on the Mining Charter. Some clarity on the progress of the MPRDA Bill. And almost nothing on how the Mining industry will be revived – except through a projected recovery of commodity prices. 🤔#SONA2018 #CyrilRamaphosa #SoNA2018

#SONA2018 tonight was a good night. Hope revived and a chance to restore what has been lost during the Zuma years. Our country is in the hands of an honest President- and that’s quite a relief. pic.twitter.com/FKA6XwWGzK
