Hundreds attend Save SA's 'real SONA'
8 February 2017
Cape Town - Young people speaking at Save South Africa's "real State of the Nation Address" say citizens are fed up with the state of the country under the current administration.
Hundreds of people filled St George's Cathedral in Cape Town on Wednesday to attend the Save SA campaign's event, a day before President Jacob Zuma addresses Parliament.
Speakers from the Treatment Action Campaign (TAC), Sonke Gender Justice and Young African Innovators spoke of a country that had failed to protect young women, and failed to give young people promised opportunities.
"We need to empower women in South Africa," said Sonke Gender Justice representative Nthabi Pooe.
