It indicates that they don't trust or want Zuma to give the SONA which means he must be on his way out.

#SONA Speaker Baleka Mbete says it has become clear that it is unlikely that a joint sitting of the two houses would be uneventful if held this Thursday. LD



LOL

"uneventful"

 

[Sumen]

I wonder how Zuma will react when they make a visit to him to ask him to postpone his speech.

 

[Kosmik]

Confirmed.

Mbete said she had approached President Jacob Zuma to ask that Thursday's Sona be postponed. Zuma said he was also in the process of drafting a letter to ask Mbete that #SONA be postponed. @IOL

Wahahaha I like the uneventful comment... too funny.

heh heh heh

ja, the chance that he'll slop a bombshell like "free education" into SONA is a major risk... (and slop is the correct word to use...)

They don't ask him to postpone..

The Speaker has dictated, therefore it is postponed, he has no say in the matter.

Arb question, has SONA ever been postponed in SA history, pre-democracy or current?

No

**** he is a barnacle of note..

The sort if money Zuma and co are willing to bribe, some of the NEC members will surely accept? Every man having his price and all!

Epic battle nonetheless

I wonder how much support the NEC needs to carry a decision forward. Half of them are already Zuma supporters so it wouldn't be simple for the Zuma-must-go. He'd not even need to pay them in cash. Just a bunch of promises of contracts and tender cuts until 2019.

State of the nation postponed... oh the irony
