SONA 2024: ANC members who left netizens in stitches on Twitter

From the long-winded introduction that the President gave to this parliamentary event's orderly and formal fashion, it is not the vibe our people signed up for.

The point of order is missing, giving Uncle Cyril far too much time for storytelling. Mzansi people do not love the orderly Sona, lol.

Here are just a few of the funny memes showing SA citizen's disappointment:

Seems like the only ones grooving tonight will be the EFF:

Disappointment runs strong through Mzansi

The comments across the various posts reinforced the displeasure of Mzansi citizens. After years of drama, people forgot what the Sona was actually about.

Political parties expect more action and less talking at SONA

Briefly News reported that political parties hold high expectations for President Cyril Ramaphosa's State of the Nation Address. Parties anticipate Ramaphosa delivering more actionable promises and less rhetoric; some are keen on holding him accountable. Stellenbosch University's professor Amanda Gouws told Briefly News that the nation is weary of a president they perceive as absent.

The African National Congress's spokesperson, Mahlengi Bhengu, stated that the ruling party expects the focus of the SONA to be on service delivery and how the ANC-led government plans to address areas of poor performance.
