PICS: Politics is a drag – Guests arrive on #Sona2019 red carpet

Mmusi Maimane was somewhat upstaged by Cathy Specific and some other fabulous guests of the DA.


Guests have started arriving on the red carpet at Parliament on Thursday afternoon for President Cyril Ramaphosa’s State of the Nation Address. Our photographer Jacques Nelles was there to capture the moment, and we’ve included all the best moments from Twitter as well.
