South Africa’s MPs gathered in Parliament once more, ostensibly to debate President Ramaphosa’s SONA speech. Yeah – that didn’t happen.
During yesterday’s SONA debate, Mmusi did his best to take down any lingering Ramaphoria, whilst EFF spokesperson Dr Mbuyiseni Ndlozi went after the air-con.
The president spent more than an hour responding to the SONA debate yesterday, and he didn’t shy away from the burning questions. He even mentioned Marikana.
Parliament is now in session, and opposition parties are taking their opportunity to reply to Cyril’s maiden SONA speech.
Last week saw the SONA debate dominate the headlines, with DA Chief Whip John Steenhuisen delivering a stringing attack on the ANC.
It’s time for JZ to face the music, the president taking the mic after two days of political mudslinging inside Parliament. This could get messy.
Serious shots have been fired in Parliament these past two days, MPs not holding back and name-calling the order of the day.
If you didn’t get your fill of politicking yesterday then sit back and get ready for day two. Take your seat Mr President, the nation isn’t done.
