Corruption leads to a degradation of public infrastructure and services, and, tragically, it ultimately costs lives. This is the context in which this Budget Vote of the Presidency must be understood. https://t.co/UBP0O9l9Kj — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
Corruption is not a victimless crime. It deprives the poor of resources that are rightfully theirs, it starves the economy of investment in that those who would want to invest in our economy are kept away by the stench of corruption. https://t.co/UBP0O9l9Kj — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
While we are now aware of the billions that were stolen from state-owned enterprises, there is no form of corruption – no matter how seemingly insignificant – that does not damage society. https://t.co/UBP0O9l9Kj — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
And perhaps the most debilitating of factors has been corruption, nepotism and patronage in many parts of the state and the private sector. https://t.co/UBP0O9l9Kj — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
As the NPC Diagnostic Report identified, development has been constrained by poor planning and inadequate coordination. https://t.co/UBP0O9l9Kj — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
We must – as we have done – acknowledge that there have been failures of governance in several municipalities, in departments and in state-owned entities. https://t.co/UBP0O9l9Kj — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
But it is equally important that we recognise that our own weaknesses and shortcomings have hampered the task of building a new society and achieving a better life for all. https://t.co/UBP0O9l9Kj — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
It has made the task of growing an inclusive economy and transforming our society that much more difficult. https://t.co/UBP0O9l9Kj — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
It has made South Africans poorer, it has made hunger more widespread and it has directly affected the health and well-being of hundreds of thousands of people. https://t.co/UBP0O9l9Kj — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
The most immediate of these is the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, which has caused massive damage to economies around the world – and which has set our own economic progress back many years. https://t.co/UBP0O9l9Kj — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
But we are not only grappling with the undeniable effects of our past. We are also having to confront many of the challenges of the present. https://t.co/UBP0O9l9Kj — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
This reality demonstrates the enormous burden of our fractured past, of the depth of deprivation, disempowerment and deliberate neglect. It demonstrates how difficult it has been to break the cycle of poverty. https://t.co/UBP0O9l9Kj — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
It is true that 6 million more people are employed now than 25 years ago, but it is also true that in the first quarter of this year the unemployment rate in our country reached its highest level ever. https://t.co/UBP0O9l9Kj — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
It is true that the murder rate per capita has nearly halved in the last 25 years, but still communities are ravaged by crime, gangsterism and violence. https://t.co/UBP0O9l9Kj — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
It is true that the proportion of homes with access to water has increased from around 60 per cent in 1994 to 88 per cent today, but still many do not have access to a reliable supply of water or sanitation. https://t.co/UBP0O9l9Kj — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
But, as we all know, there is so much more that we need to do. It is true that 5 million subsidised houses and housing opportunities have been provided for the poor since 1994, but still millions of people live in informal settlements. https://t.co/UBP0O9l9Kj — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
Over the last 25 years, we have done much to give effect to Madiba’s call that the responsibility of government is to “redress the centuries of unspeakable privations, by striving to eliminate poverty, illiteracy, homelessness and disease”. https://t.co/UBP0O9l9Kj — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
But while there are areas of public life where we have made a decisive break with our apartheid past, we all know very well that this country’s divided and violent history lives on in the lives of millions of South Africans. https://t.co/UBP0O9l9Kj — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
I therefore welcome and appreciate yesterday’s debate, not only for what was said, but also for what that kind of debate represents. https://t.co/UBP0O9l9Kj — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
We must never forget how far we have come from the conflict of our past, from the silencing of dissent, and from the banning of the legitimate voices of the people. https://t.co/UBP0O9l9Kj — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
It is a matter of great significance and value that this Parliament provides space for conflicting views to be aired and debated and for competing interests to be mediated. https://t.co/UBP0O9l9Kj — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
It was a demonstration that our democracy is vibrant and that our perspectives are as diverse as the South African people we represent. https://t.co/UBP0O9l9Kj — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
Thank you for the opportunity to reply to the debate on the Presidency Budget Vote. True to form, the engagement was lively and robust. https://t.co/UBP0O9l9Kj — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
To refine policymaking, a capable state draws on the respective strengths and capabilities in society to support the national development agenda. This helps us to refine governance and develop innovative approaches to challenges. https://t.co/MezFO4JEZo — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
In a capable state, policymaking is coherent and evidence-based. This begins with translating the electoral mandate of the governing party into key outcomes. https://t.co/paYn8G2qrT — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
In a capable state, programmes at national, provincial and local government level are synchronised. Resources are used to their best effect and not wasted. https://t.co/6j50ZOBwbC — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
A capable state is well-run and well-managed, with clear lines of responsibility and accountability. Actions are effectively aligned with intentions. https://t.co/6j50ZOBwbC — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
A capable is state is critical to development and service delivery, and to strengthening cooperative governance, a core principle of our Constitution. Advancing an ethical, capable and developmental state is our priority. https://t.co/z4E4YF9UgQ — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
The report flagged lack of coordination within government as one of the reasons for failure to implement our progressive policies. A year later the National Development Plan introduced the concept of a capable state. https://t.co/yXoIhEnwYl — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
It is exactly ten years since the National Planning Commission released a diagnostic report that led to the development of the National Development Plan. https://t.co/yXoIhEnwYl — PolitiTweet.org
