ANC President Cyril Ramaphosa will on Saturday deliver the governing party’s January 8 statement, marking the party’s 112th anniversary. As some South Africans and the party faithful await with bated breath to hear the contents of the speech - one wonders whether January the 8th statement is one and the same with the State of the Nation Address (SONA) post 1994, or could there be a desired optimal use to achieve complementarity between the two by Ramaphosa?
