Water Crisis Focus as Ramaphosa Delivers State of Nation Address

President Cyril Ramaphosa is outlining the government's priorities and interventions for the year ahead. Speaking ahead of the address, Ramaphosa acknowledged growing public sentiment that the country is moving in the right direction, while conceding that serious challenges remain. The address is already being overshadowed by a mounting water crisis, with areas in Johannesburg facing water protests erupting across the country. Critics have warned that while Ramaphosa may present ambitious plans covering the economy, infrastructure, and local government, the deeper challenge is political.
