Africa-Press – South-Africa. <\/strong><\/span>President Cyril Ramaphosa has assured Tsakane residents his administration will prioritise their issues.<\/p>\n

On Friday, Ramaphosa held his first Presidential Imbizo in the Ekurhuleni township since being elected for a second term.<\/p>\n

The president has also hit back at critics who have called the gathering an expensive talking shop, saying it plays an important role in the district development model.<\/p>\n

The Government of National Unity\u2019s first Presidential Imbizo was different. Ramaphosa sported dark shades throughout the event due to an eye infection.<\/p>\n

And in another unusual twist, he was joined by several ministers who engaged directly with the attendees.<\/p>\n

Ramaphosa said the event was a success: \u201cA number of people in our country look down on this process of imbizo, they say it\u2019s a waste of time, it\u2019s not a waste of time, it\u2019s very valuable for us as government to listen to our people.<\/p>\n

\u201cMinisters and deputy ministers do have a number of imbizos as they execute their work in various places. So, the presidential imbizo takes the whole district and from here we will be going to other districts until hopefully, we will finish them all.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ramaphosa said all queries shared by Tsakane residents – whether orally, in writing or online – would be addressed with feedback.<\/p>\n

President Cyril Ramaphosa is today hosting the first Presidential Imbizo of the 7th democratic administration.<\/p>\n
