Archbishop Thabo Makgoba said the Ramaphosa government had failed to meet the expectations of South Africans. Makgoba was speaking at a Christmas Eve midnight mass church service at St George's Cathedral in Cape Town.
If politicians continue to live in the past, believing in their God-given rights, enraging and ignoring the fundamental need to compromise, the National Unity Government will follow the same path, he says.
Mr Makgoba said they would receive an even more impressive boost in the upcoming municipal, local and national elections.

Families of all ages gathered for worship, filling the church with a Christmas atmosphere. SABC's Lulama Matia spoke to attendees about the importance of this occasion.
“I'm not actually a Christian, but I believe that religious festivals like Christmas should unite us, especially in our country and globally, because there's so much negativity going on. I think we should all come together, regardless of our religion, to promote peace and unity,” said one person who attended the service.
Another said: “As children, we were always taken to midnight mass.Mass is a major event in the Christian calendar and celebrates the birth of Christ, which is the foundation of our way of life.'' It's something to celebrate.''
“Christmas is a time of peace, love and hope. For those of us who come to church as families, we are here to receive that message once again and enjoy the Christmas season with our loved ones…” said this attendee. explains.
