South African President Cyril Ramaphosa will deliver his 2025 State of the Nation Address (SONA) on February 6th, 2025, outlining the government's achievements and plans for the year ahead. The address will be a significant event in the South African political landscape, with parties from the GNU and others expected to attend. Ramaphosa's SONA comes amidst a mix of optimism and uncertainty, with the country facing challenges such as the recent deaths of SANDF soldiers in the DRC and potential US funding cuts.
President Cyril Ramaphosa is set to address South Africa in his 2025 State of the Nation Address tomorrow evening, Thursday 6th February 2025. The event will be a big to-do in the South African political landscape, with all political parties of the GNU and others expected to converge at the event.Interested South Africans can check out the 2025 edition of SONA through a number of livestreams online and likely on all local news channels on SABC, eNCA, and others on DStv.
Now that a grand coalition governs the country, Eskom’s loadshedding is under control and the economy is showing green shoots, though tiny, of improvement, expect Ramaphosa to harp on many claims of successes the government has managed in the last year. However, large storm clouds loom over the SONA, including that of the 14 SANDF soldiers that died in the DRC and South Africa’s controversial military action in the country.
“This year’s SoNA is particularly significant as it coincides with the conclusion of our year-long commemoration of 30 Years of Freedom and Democracy, which has allowed us to reflect on how far we have come in building a society that works for all citizens.”Hypertext is one of South Africa’s leading technology news and reviews sites.
