The revival of the economy and the creation of jobs are set to be high on President Cyril Ramaphosa’s first State of the Nation Address (SONA) for the sixth administration on Thursday evening.
President Ramaphosa’s address comes at a time when the economy had contracted by just over 3% with unemployment standing at over 26%.
