 Article Headline: Post-Sona blues
 Abstract: The 2019 State of the Nation address (Sona) will be remembered for two things in the main: the anger with which some social partners greeted the announcement by President Cyril Ramaphosa that State-owned electricity utility Eskom would be unbundled into three independent entities and the accusation by Congress of the People (Cope) leader Mosiua Lekota that Ramaphosa sold out during apartheid. If we  restrict ourselves to the four corners of each page of Sona, as speeches go, the 2019 Sona was quite impressive. If we limit ourselves to nothing but the promises and rhetorical commitments that were made, South Africa under Ramaphosa is going to be the land of milk, honey and prosperity. The dogs of poverty, unemployment and inequality, with their tails between the legs, will be forced to flee into oblivion.
