Presiding parliament officials held a press conference today at Parliament in Cape Town.



The State of the Nation Address will this year again be delivered during the evening.

 
Chairperson of the National Council of the Provinces Mninwa Mahlangu explained the reason for having the speech during the evening is to enable all South African citizens to be part of the State of The Nation Address.

He further explained that the ceremonial aspects of the State of the National Address will remain the same as all the other years.

The theme for this year is knowledge economy and development opportunities.

Speaker of the National Assembly Maxwell Mahlangu, says the reason for this is that South Africa is leading a consortium of nine African countries in Africa’s bid to build the site of the multi Radio Astronomy Project.
