CAPE TOWN - Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) leader Julius Malema says it's clear President Cyril Ramaphosa has no plan to transform South Africa for the better.

Malema, whose party was excluded from the Government of National Unity (GNU), slammed Ramaphosa on Thursday night after the Opening of Parliament Address (OPA) in Cape Town.

"Nothing about international relations because that is a point of disagreement for this GNU - nothing about the judiciary and nothing about the land."

Meanwhile, the Democratic Alliance (DA) shared a different sentiment, welcoming the president's speech.

“We welcome the key priorities outlined for the next five years for the GNU. The Democratic Alliance has always been clear that if we're going to go anywhere as a country, we need to have a working economy,” said DA spokesperson Karabo Khakhau.

“We also want to have a working and competent and capable public service and administration that is not marred by political interference, so we welcome that too."
