His Excellency President Cyril Ramaphosa delivered the SoNA to a Joint Sitting of the two houses of Parliament – the National Assembly and National Council of Provinces – at the Cape Town City Hall on Thursday, 8 February 2024.
Tribute to the late President of the Republic of Namibia
“As we were preparing for this SoNA, we were deeply saddened to hear of the tragic passing of Dr Hage Geingob, the President of the Republic of Namibia. President Geingob was a dear friend to me and of the South African people, and a comrade in arms in the Struggle for our freedom. He was a champion of African peace, unity, progress and development. May I ask that we observe a moment of silence in his honour.” -
