Lonzi was speaking during a heated debate on the SONA at a joint sitting of the National Assembly and the National Council of Provinces on Wednesday.

President Cyril Ramaphosa is expected to respond to the debate on Thursday afternoon. In a scathing speech, Lonzi took aim at several ministers and ANC MPs, one by one. “Ramaphosa, today we will not hide behind crammed coats and flowery words, as your Minister of Higher Education, Buti Manamela, did yesterday,” he said. “How can the Minister of Higher Education publicly declare that there is no plan or solution to absorb all the learners who pass matric into post-secondary education?”
