Ramaphosa to Deliver SONA at 17:00GMT/19:00SAST

SOUTH AFRICA
  • A reminder that President Cyril Ramaphosa will deliver his State of Nation Address (SONA) this evening at 17:00GMT/19:00SAST.
  • The speech will be closely watched for any announcements of new measures to rescue embattled SOEs (last year the SONA was used to announce a state of emergency over the ongoing power crisis), which may add to the strain on South Africa's budget.
  • The President is also likely to discuss the track record of his ANC party ahead of this year's national and provincial elections. He is unlikely to announce the date for the elections but will do so within 15 days. More information on the event here and link to livestream here.
