President Cyril Ramaphosa would have entered into performance agreements with Ministers, Premiers and Director-Generals by the time he delivers his anticipated State of the Nation (SONA 2020) address on Thursday 13 February 2020.
“After this Lekgotla, we can assure you [that] before the President steps onto the podium to deliver his speech at the State of the Nation Address on [Thursday] 13 February 2020, he would have signed performance agreements with all ministers, deputy ministers, premiers and directors-general,” said Minister in the Presidency Jackson Mthembu.
In 2019, it was announced that members of the Cabinet would sign performance agreements with President Ramaphosa after the conclusion of the medium-term strategic framework of government (MTSF). The discussions of the medium-term strategic framework (MTSF) of government began after elections, and has now been concluded,” Mthembu clarified.
Minister Jackson Mthembu:
Last year we said we’ll sign performance agreements after concluding MTSF.
There was no way Cyril could’ve entered into performance agreements with Ministers, when there was no clarity on what Govt will do for 5 years.
Now there’s clarity. pic.twitter.com/grE7CGZFf8

In addition, the Minister said the performance, architecture and mandates of state-owned enterprises (SOEs), including those which are in crisis mode (like Eskom, Transnet and South African Airways), were at the top of the agenda at the Lekgotla in Pretoria.
