He said, "The myth that we're electioneering is short-sighted and historically inaccurate."

"Government continues its work right up to the 28th of May."

"This thing that its an electioneering scheme by Ramaphosa and so on it's nonsense."

"What is the right time to implement a job's programme? The issue of unemployment has been a problem for number of administrations."
