    Finally, following the postponement of SONA due to possible violence over the ANC’s lack of action in removing Jacob Zuma from his presidency, the State of Nation Address is on.

    Party in Cape Town this Friday night? You bet.

    Not only has Zuma’s forced resignation paved the way for Cyril Ramaphosa and Parliament to resume schedule, but it has given us all a new lease on life.

    And I am sure that will encourage drinks to flow this evening.

    SONA proceedings will officially begin at 7PM this evening, reports EWN, and, as per usual, these are the roads that will be closed pretty much all day:
