Best looks of the largest political event in South Africa

Politicians, musicians and celebrities arrived in their most glamorous looks of one of the greatest political events in South Africa: the state of the nation (sona), which almost both fashionable and politics.

Sona is a joint session of the two houses of the Parliament in Cape City to mark the beginning of government work for the year, where President Cyril Ramaphosa paints an image of where the country is located and describes the way ahead.

In his speech, President Ramaphosa spoke about the resistance of the nation, obtaining enthusiastic applause when he declared: “South Africa will not be intimidated.”

His position occurs after his American counterpart Donald Trump threatened to cut funds on the land policy of South Africa.

Although the governance occupies the center of the stage, Sona has become a fashion show over the years, with parliamentarians who use their attire to support local designers and exhibit South African talent.

Atuendos are always a hot topic on social networks, and this year is no exception.

Praise singer Inako Matza, the Imbongi this year (traditional praise poet), played a key role in one of the most important sound traditions.

Through the song and dance, he told the story and history of President Cyril Ramaphosa, combining tradition with a personal touch.

She finished her performance by addressing the president with her well -known nickname, “Cupcake.”

The Minister of Water and Sanitation of South Africa, Pemmy Majodina carried a traditional attire and spectacular headphones.

Water was a key part of Ramaphosa’s speech, since he said that there would be several investments in water projects to address the shortage that affects the entire country.

Drapeado in gold, this elegant dressing table is Gezani Kobane, member of the party of former President Jacob Zuma, Umkhont We Sizwe (MK).

As MK consolidates its presence in South African politics as the main opposition party, figures like Kobane are drawing attention both for their political position and their distinctive style.

But Zuma was not present, since he was dealing with his ongoing judgment on accusations of corruption for a weapons agreement. It denies any irregularity.

Outside the Parliament, there is a red carpet for guests and ministers to make a pose.

The South African politician and the traditional leader of Pondo Mwelo Nonkonyana, who is now a member of the Congress of the traditional leaders of South Africa at the Eastern end, showed the style of his community, along with a staff.

Julius Malema’s party, the fighters of economic freedom (EFF) reached their characteristic red monkey. The party has interrupted previous sounds, but this year they were relatively quiet.

Malema expressed his disappointment for President Ramaphosa’s speech and told the local station of the local station that he was only “Waffle.”

The members of the Parliament were dressed for the Nines while listening to the speech.

Now the hard work begins.
