South Africa's Ramaphosa shows progress on energy, fails on service delivery
A Namibian assessment of President Cyril Ramaphosa's 2025 State of the Nation pledges finds significant progress on energy reform and infrastructure investment, but widespread failure in local government service delivery, water provision, jobs creation, and health insurance rollout.
