Social Development Minister, and African National Congress (ANC) NEC member Lindiwe Zulu, says moving the State of the Nation Address (SONA), to the Union Buildings in Pretoria, is a costly exercise for Parliament.

He was denied bail and is expected to appear in court again soon.“It’s very disturbing that up until now- it’s a year now, and absolutely nothing has happened to restore that building. If there’s political will, then that building can be fixed within no time- but it is not like that. Each and every thing that government is doing, will take years to fix-and to address such a problem. It is totally wrong and unacceptable,” adds Bloem.

“It’s an expensive exercise, from a point of view of moving where it is now. It means transporting the entire staff, it means looking for interpretation [interpreting services], it means looking for systems for that interpretation. I’m not sure why a proposal like that can even be entertained,” adds Minister Zulu.

How about president holds a family meeting like he did during covid to present the SONA? We can all watch from tv, including the ministers

Nothing is costly for the ministers as it is tax payers that ultimately pay for this.

SONA ,.it's a waste of money, why can't he goes and seat down at SABC to declare his empty speech of promises.

Do it over Zoom

Our government have a lot of money

Do they care,no

ona le maaka! You are obsessed with Capetown

This can be virtually hosted… 4IR Crew mara 🫣

This is the same person who was standing to be a president 😂😂🤣🤣 ANC comrades are non thinkers

Can this one be fired,incompetent

But provinces must share the benefits not only Western Cape

Cyril Ramaphosa and his cabinet must not get payed for six months and contribute their salaries to building a new parliament in Tshwane 🤔

Tell Stellenbosch Mafia that MK and APLA they've arrived 😂😂😂.

What's expect from a street girl!

Moving the “PARTY 🥂🍾”from Beautiful Cape Town is just a No No. So let’s play the expense card. The public are fools anyway in her eyes.

How so?

She's always drunk that one. Since when did she qualify as an accountant? The whole parliament MUST move to Pretoria. They choose to stay in Capetown because it's clean while they've neglected cities where they govern.

You had a full year to fix parliament.. now you wake up a month before parliament has to open..rather refrain from any media releases to further discredit the ANC

Atleast soyibe siyinonile kutsi lemali iye kuphi unlike inyamalale nje eskhaleni
