Magashule to deliver SOPA

The DA in the Free State expects Premier Ace Magashule's tenth State of the Province Address (SOPA) at the luxurious Thanda Tau outside Vrede today to be a repackaging of all his previous addresses. The party's Roy Jankielsohn says Magashule will without any doubt follow the line of radical transformation punted by President Jacob Zuma during the State of the Nation Address (SONA). According to Jankielsohn Magashule will not reveal the true negative impact that the ANC government has had on the socio-economic realities of communities in the province, including unemployment.

The official opening of the Free State Legislature is set to start at 09:00.
