This government does not really take us seriously. How can the State Of The Nation be held at a local Hall?

@CharlieLanga

Our country does not need this costly fashion show #SONA2022. Ramaphosa can post his list of dreams “bullet trains and smart cities” on Twitter and other social media platforms.

@HonourableHloni

If Cyril was a real President, he would preface #SONA2022 with the announcement of Judge Mandisa Maya as Chief Justice.

@porklady

I would love to know if what was promised in the last SONA has been fulfilled. I would like to see an analysis that measures tangible results #SONA2022.

@ChangeAgentSA

Dear Parliament, how many guests will be hosted for the #SONA2022? Would it not make sense to keep this as an online facilitated dialogue with the nation as we have had for the past two years of online family meetings with the very little cost associated and it has proved financially sensible?

@Tessa_Dooms

In times of crisis, more than at any other time, the President must lead the government in communicating a single clear message about what is happening and why it is happening, and what the government is doing to address the matter. How to President 101. In time for #SONA2022

@MmatumM

#SONA2022 has become meaningless to ordinary South Africans. Cyril Ramaphosa flatters to deceive. It is the illusion of due diligence combined with mellifluous tones that drive his agenda. While he coddles ANC miscreants, rain-makers stay away and the economy sinks further into the abyss.

@BrentLindeque

Hey President, I see you are planning a little soiree at City Hall for #SONA2022. How many retweets will it take to get you to rather do a live broadcast and then use the money to help South Africans in need? It worked last year. Why are we going back to the flashy things?

@alanwinde

It is great to hear that the State of the Nation Address will take place at the Cape Town City Hall this year. The devastating fire at the Parliament must not prevent our democracy from functioning, and it is important that we all stand together to help.

@judith_february

No red carpet, fancy outfits, posing, and road closures. Just do the people’s work. And note to the media not to ask vacuous questions about outfits, handbags, and other nonsense.

@kgbentley

Who else is looking forward to another episode of “empty promises” on Thursday #SONA2022.

@HsiaoMarvin

For #SONA2022, all I ask for is our president to give us an honest account of our collective failings (during the pandemic and otherwise) so we can change them together. No sugar-coating anything, no grandiose goals that we have no hope of achieving.
