All systems go for SONA

Sunday, February 8, 2015

Pretoria - It is all systems go for the State of the Nation Address (SONA) to be held in Parliament on Thursday.

“We are looking forward to SONA,” said President Zuma on Sunday.

He was addressing editors at an engagement session at the Sefako Makgatho Presidential Guest House in Pretoria.

President Zuma’s engagement comes a few days before he tables the SONA in the National Assembly in Parliament at 7pm.

The President, however, would not be drawn on the contents of the SONA which will be broadcast live on tv.

Earlier this week, the President invited inputs and suggestions from members of the public to the SONA on issues they consider important for their well-being and those of their communities.

The Presidency said it appreciated the participation of the public in the preparations for SONA. - SAnews.gov.za
