STATE OF THE NATION ADDRESS SCHEDULED FOR 7 FEBRUARY 2019

The 2019 State of the Nation Address is scheduled for 7 February 2019 at 19h00. The theme for this year’s event is: “Following up on our commitments: Making Your Future Work Better”. The theme underpins Parliament’s endeavour to continuously intensify its commitment and service to the people and to ensure a truly united, non-racial, non-sexist, equal and prosperous South Africa.
The State of the Nation Address is called in terms of Section 42 of the Constitution by the President of the Republic. It is a joint sitting of the two Houses of Parliament and one of the rare occasions that bring together the three arms of the State under one roof.
The Address affords the President an opportunity to speak to the nation on the general state of South Africa, to reflect on a wide range of political, economic and social matters within the domestic and global contexts, to account to the nation on the work of government and to set out the government’s program of action.
This State of the Nation Address, is the last for this current term of Parliament. The Fifth Parliament will conclude in a few months’ time, bringing down the curtain on the term in which this institution has executed its function with activism, robustness, fearlessness and without fear or favour.
