The State of the Nation Address delivered more drama and chaos than was expected.
When President Jacob Zuma took a stand to deliver his State of the Nation Address, Economic Freedom Fighters [EFF] interrupted him.
The members of the EFF demanded that the President explain when he will pay the money back that he used for his Nkandla’s house upgrade.
Drama and shouting erupted.
Here are some hilarious and most bizarre comments that dropped the country’s jaws.
