RAMAPHOSA: Traditional leadership inextricable from SA s past, present & future The institution of traditional leadership continues to play an important role in the lives of millions of people around our country, especially in rural areas, says President Cyril Ramaphosa.

Dear Fellow South African,
In the last few months, we have had to bid a sad farewell to two of our country’s most respected traditional monarchs.
This week, the Zulu people will lay to rest His Majesty King Goodwill Zwelithini ka Bhekuzulu who reigned for half a century. In January, the Bapedi people buried Kgoshikgolo Thulare Thulare III, who passed away less than a year after his inauguration.
When the state is focused on executive governance by regulation, the craft of drafting good laws easily falls by the wayside. The making of three bills central to South African life dealing with land reform, police transformation and electoral reform illustrates the snags of lawmaking from the unprecedented to the pedestrian and the troubled.
The Unprecedented: Land Court Bill
Presently before the State Law Advisers for certification, or the official endorsement that the bill indeed meets all criteria of being a bill, this draft law is breaking with 26 years of constitutional democratic practice ditching departmental public consultations.
It’s unprecedented to skip this step.

1.        INTRODUCTION
It is my singular honour and privilege to present the 2021 Budget. Today I table before this House:
2021 Appropriation Bill
The Budget Review
Madam Speaker last year we outlined a strategy to becoming a winning country.
Since then, we have mourned the passing of nearly 50 000 of our fellow South Africans as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic. The damage caused by Covid-19 runs deep and we share in the collective pain of many South Africans who have lost their jobs.
