Yesterday, 09 February 2012, President Jacob G Zuma officially opened Parliament for the year 2012. Cape Town came into a standstill for the president's State Of the Nation Address that many anticipate every year.
Roads from the Cape Town International Convention Centre to Parliament were closed for the President and his Deputy to be transported to Parliament without any interruptions and of course to protect them.
People always look forward to hearing what the President is going to promise them for the year and if his promises for the previous year were achieved. Some people just don’t care shem or they pretend to not to? Aketsi.
Well some of us always look forward to seeing the politicians fashion too and of course to see the President's many wives. As usual Msholozi walked the red carpet with his first wife Makhumalo while the other 3 wives were already seated in the National Assembly waiting for uBaba to do his speech.
The president got welcomed by his Deputy President Mr. Kgalema Monthlante, who walked the red carpet with his gorgeous partner, Gugu Mtshali.
The President with his Deputy entered the National Assembly with all the other members of parliament and guests standing waiting to welcome the President in the National Assembly.
The Speaker, Mr. Max Sisulu asked the President to make his way to the podium to address the nation and Msholozi took his position. He made his long greeting and began with his speech cracking jokes here and there.
He even teased one Premier after trying to speak SeSotho saying “I speak Zutho nna”.
He also said "people should exercise mangaloku beziyeka besanda besanda" followed by huge laughter from MPs and guests in House. Msholozi was calm throughout his speech. He looked like he was enjoying every moment of it.
Those who heard every word of what the President said will maybe perhaps summarize for us while we take a look at these……lol
