Cape Town - All eyes will be on President Cyril Ramaphosa when he delivers his State of the Nation Address later on Thursday. Ramaphosa is under fire from opposition parties, civil society and other sectors to fix the ailing state-owned entities .
Eskom and SAA are buckling under pressure and need billions of rand to avoid their collapse. The ANC and its alliance partners, Cosatu and SACP, came out in support of SA Airways, saying it needed to be saved. In a day filled with drama on Wednesday, Parliament and former president Jacob Zuma issued conflicting statements over his attendance or no show.
Parliament was forced to backtrack on its initial statement that Zuma would attend SONA after Zuma’s lawyers and his foundation dismissed the claim.
