President Of The Republic Hails Social Media Contribution!!
On the State of the Nation Address, President Jacob Zuma acknowledged the role played by the social networking sites. He, with compliments presented his applause to facebook and twitter. It is about time our Government came down to the people, with only the hope that action will take place. This teaches us a few lessons on how to address social related matters. Would I be wide of the mark to assert that politics is business?
The approach used by the National Presidency is a business move and I do applaud them for that strategic move. Politics in SA have always been distanced by politician from social network platforms and here Mr. JZ is setting a trend. This is the new dawn in politics of the day in Mzantsi.
Government has no excuse in ensuring service delivery, as this creates direct engagement with the public. Government must be critical as well as pay enough attention to the social engagements shared in these sites. As citizens we are the critics and watchdogs of this Government, and I only hope and pray that based on this new approach, we will not be disappointed.
