Zuma or not Zuma?

This is the question that emerges with an eye on the State of the Nation address that must be delivered next week at the opening of Cape Parliament.

Opposition parties are trying to prevent the current head of state, Jacob Zuma delivering the address and instead wants his deputy, Cyril Ramaphosa, to deliver it.

The speakers of the parliament and the National Council of Provinces, however stood fast that the country’s head of state would give the address, irrespective of who at that time is president of the country.

The only thing that can replace the country’s president is the ANC itself, and it does not seem as if they want to remove him.

The EFF has already indicated that they will turn parliament into a circus as they did last year if Zuma is to deliver the address.
