The State of the Nation Address is a big event in South Africa that updates the people on the government’s progress and plans. It will be held at the Cape Town City Hall, which has been prepared and inspected for the occasion by the Presiding Officers of Parliament. Media representatives and guests need accreditation tags to enter the precinct, and the media’s role in the democratic process is thoughtfully accommodated. As the countdown progresses, the essence of democracy is alive and flourishing, foretelling another successful State of the Nation Address.
South African musician and media personality, Sbusiso “DJ Sbu” Leope, has expressed his interest in working at the South African Broadcasting Corporation (SABC) again, but only under acceptable conditions. Sbu was dismissed from SABC’s Metro FM in 2015, following his promotion of his MoFaya energy drink at the Metro FM Awards. This led to his eventual departure after a public outcry.
