Masisi’s ‘non-committal’ global politics on test :: Mmegi Online

With itching ears, the nation will on Monday heave its eyes on President Mokgweetsi Masisi when he gives the last State of National Address (SONA) prior to the 2024 General Election. The President will be delivering the most politically predominate address in a calendar year, the SONA. Writes Mmegi Correspondent TIMOTHY LEWANIKA

The SONA encapsulates the President’s account of past promises but most importantly, it privies the First Citizen with a chance to give his opinion on matters of national interest, which ultimately influences policy decisions going forward.

The nuances of the Monday SONA address can only be politically discerned, firstly because it will be the last address the President gives before he caps the red CAVA party cap, where he will have to convince the nation to re-elect him back to office for the second term in the 2024 polls. The nation will not just be listening to an update on matters of national interest, it will be keenly listening and wondering whether this is the captain we want to sail with beyond 2024.
