National Assembly Speaker Baleka Mbete has announced that the State of the Nation Address, which was due to be delivered on Thursday, has been postponed to a date yet to be announced. The postponement comes after the DA and the EFF wrote to Mbete requesting that President Jacob Zuma not be allowed to deliver the address. The DA first wants the ANC to resolve whether the President will serve the remainder of his term. The EFF has been calling for a special sitting to allow for a motion of no confidence in Zuma. The debate for the motion has been set for 22 of this month. Mbete addressed the media at Parliament.
