On Thursday, 9 February, President Cyril Ramaphosa will deliver his seventh State of the Nation Address (SONA). This will be the second year that SONA is held at the Cape Town City Hall after a fire destroyed parts of the Parliament building. Find out more, plus see the road closure schedule.
President Cyril Ramaphosa will deliver his seventh State of the Nations Address.
President Ramaphosa’s State of the Nation Address will be delivered to a joint sitting of the National Assembly and the National Council of Provinces. SONA will be held at Cape Town City Hall for the second year following the devastating fire at Parliament.
The city hall carries great historical significance: It’s where former President Nelson Mandela addressed the nation for the first time after his release from prison in 1990. Mandela also appeared at City Hall in 1994 after he was elected South Africa’s first democratic president.
President Ramaphosa and his guests will walk the red carpet, where the Civil Guard of Honor will welcome them. There will be a 21-gun salute, as well as the South African Air Force fly-by and the military band playing South Africa’s national anthem.
