Long queues reported at OR Tambo International Airport

As South Africa approaches the 2026 State of the Nation Address, United Africans Transformation (UAT) is calling on President Cyril Ramaphosa to move beyond repetition and symbolism. UAT says the address must include clear, time‑bound commitments that address weak economic growth, high unemployment, rising violent crime and deteriorating public services. The party also demands a full, transparent report on what the government has delivered since taking office, warning that without accountability, the SONA will remain another exercise in reassurance without results. Elvis Presslin spoke to Dr Wonder Mahlatse President of United Africans Transformation party
