Zuma to be Barred from Delivering South African National Address?
Opposition parties the Economic Freedom Fighters and Democratic Alliance have written to Parliamentary Speaker Baleka Mbete requesting that President Jacob Zuma be barred from delivering the annual State of the Nation Address. This comes after Parliament's sub-committee on the rules of the National Assembly met to discuss the proposal of a "hybrid panel" of MPs and retired judges to handle the in-depth processes of impeaching a president.
