Dear Mr. President

Never has a government cared so little about young people as this ANC government which you lead.

Mr. President, you may have forgotten about Thando Makhubo, the entrepreneur from Soweto whom you hailed a success for starting an ice cream business using the R350 SRD grand.

Well, because of your government's failure, his business is melting away as he struggles to keep it going due to the ongoing load-shedding disaster. Ismail Pheku aka MaSeun, a car wash owner in Ikageng, Kanana, is losing much-needed income and has had to let go of two people because the number of cars he washes per day has drastically declined due to load shedding and water shedding.

Tebogo Lekaota, yoo rona re mo itsing jaaka Guluva, o ne a na le kgwebo e e rekisang Diphatlho ko Kanana, Mandela, ebile a thapile basha bale bararo mo kgwebong ya gagwe.

Go utlwisa botlhoko gore gompieno yana kgwebo yaga Guluva, mmogo le dikgwebo potlana tse di ntsi tseo di tsamaisiwang ke basha, e phutlame, se ele ka ntlha kgaolo ya motlakase e e tsweletseng go bolaya dikgwebo potlana mo nageng. Mnr. Die President, u het gepraat oor mislukte munisipaliteite. Ek wil u regstel. Dis is munisipaliteite onder jou party. Meer spesifiek jou mislukte plaaslike ekonomiese ontwikkelingdepartemente wat steeds ons jeug faal.

Perhaps you have equally forgotten about the local textile workers at the House of Monatic here in Saltriver, Cape Town. The very local company whose designer suite you wore in this house back in 2019. Ke bo Thando Makhubo’s b aba kae mo nageng ya rona Mr. President? Hoeveel Ismael Pheku’s is daar Mnr. President? How many Tebogo Lekaota’s are out the Mr. President? Mr. President, lware basha ke bone baeteledipele ba lefatshe le ba kamoso, mme wena le ba puso ya gago ya ANC ga le kgone go lemoga ditlamorago tsa go kgaola motlakase le metsi mo dikgwebong tsa bone.
