Ramaphosa outlines Presidency's priorities for economic growth and job creation

President Cyril Ramaphosa tabled the budget vote for the Presidency in the National Assembly on Tuesday.

President Cyril Ramaphosa on Tuesday said his office will focus its work on the priorities set out in the State of the Nation Address (SONA) to grow the economy and create jobs in 2026/27.

Tabling the budget vote for the Presidency in the National Assembly, Ramaphosa clarified that his office was not a service delivery department but a co-ordinating institution.

“The Presidency does not build roads, deliver water or supply medicines to clinics,” he said.

“It is the strategic centre from which the government drives implementation, resolves blockages, mobilises partnerships and ensures that the commitments we make to the people of South Africa are translated into tangible results”.
