SONA 2017: Delivered under barrel of a gun─── CATHY DLODLO 14:25 Thu, 09 Feb 2017
Opposition parties dubbed this year’s State of the Nation Address as one that would be delivered under the barrel of a gun with soldiers, police, spooks, parliamentary security and the "white shirts bouncers".
Security forces deployed at the official opening of Parliament tonight lead to political parties and the public to have diverse reactions about it.
This follows after the news broke that 441 soldiers have been deployed to the event.
Cathy Dlodlo spoke to opposition parties and other stakeholders about what to expect tonight when pres. Jacob Zuma delivers his speech.
