Twitter trolls President Ramaphosa for his statement 'Dreaming of a new South Africa'
The State of the Nation address took place on Thursday, 20 June. Despite the seriousness of the event, Twitter found a lighter side of things.
Didn't watch SONA 2019? Here are a few key points which will be focused on by President Cyril Ramaphosa and his government:
1. Economic transformation and job creation2. Education, skills, and health
3. Consolidating the social wage through reliable and quality basic services
4. Spatial integration, human settlements, and local governments
5. Social cohesion, and safe communities
6. A capable and ethical and developmental state
7. A better Africa and World
As usual, Twitter had much to say. Here is some of the shade that was thrown at Ramaphosa:

-A man who is filthy rich, yet never started any business in his life.
-A man who had a hand in the writing of the Constitution that oppresses us til today.

President @CyrilRamaphosa #SONA2019 address last night was, by general concensus, full of dreams but little in the way of detail. One positive was confirmation that @SAReserveBank mandate would not change. #Rand didnt react, was already trading weaker from yesterday’s best levels
