This essay seeks to explore the content of the speech given by President Cyril
Ramaphosa at the human rights commemoration in 2021. We seek to elucidate the
genre, the aim of the writing as well as the literary techniques that were used.
The type of text that we see in the excerpt is that of a political persuasive text. The
political part comes from the fact that it was a speech that was given by the
President of the country whose speech is always politically motivated. Persuasive in
the sense that in the text they mention that the government is making efforts to turn
around the economy for all. This statement is meant to win over those that had lost
faith in the government or those who thought were against the government.
