Send suggestions via the Twitter or Facebook links provided
SOUTH Africans can have their say on what should be included in President Jacob Zuma’s State of the Nation Address (SONA), scheduled for next week.
“The president invites input and suggestions through social media on issues people consider important for their well-being and those of their communities that should be included in the speech,” said the Presidency on Sunday.
The public is requested to submit their suggestions via Twitter, @PresidencyZa or the Facebook Page: The Presidency of the Republic of South Africa. The social media campaign runs until Friday.
Preparations are at an advanced stage for SONA, which will be delivered on 12 February in parliament. “The SONA will outline progress made in the past year, outstanding work that still needs to be done and the priorities of the 2015/2016 financial year,” said spokesman Mac Maharaj.
It will be delivered under the theme, ‘Together We Move South Africa Forward’, which is government’s core message until 2019, promoting collaboration by all South Africans in building a united, non-racial, non-sexist and prosperous South Africa.
