SONA2021 road closures

President Cyril Ramaphosa will deliver his 5^th State Of the Nation Address (SONA) on Thursday, 11 February 2021.

SONA2021 will be downscaled this year, because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

There will be no rehearsals on the days prior to SONA.

The City of Cape Town’s Traffic Service advises that road closures will be limited to the area around the Parliamentary precinct, the M3 and N2 inbound.

The closures on the aforementioned main routes will be intermittent, between 18:15 and 19:00 on the day, and will impact on traffic flow.
