/

In this timely podcast episode, VF+ Provincial Leader in the Northern Cape, Dr Wynand Boshoff, offers a candid analysis of the recently delivered 2026 State of the Province Address (SOPA) by Premier Dr Zamani Saul.

Boshoff contrasts the premier’s optimistic claims such as economic growth, improved matric pass rates, declining unemployment, healthcare advances, and infrastructure investments – with the harsh everyday realities faced by Northern Cape residents, including persistent high unemployment, crime, poverty, service delivery failures, unfulfilled promises on housing and health facilities, and the gap between grand announcements and tangible outcomes in rural and mining communities.
