VIDEO: Matthew Lester’s #SONA2016 snippets – Nkandla or the people

In the lead up to what’s anticipated to be one of the most watched State of the Nation (SONA) addresses in history, Matthew Lester has put together a string of videos looking at the issues on the table.

The videos are straight to the point and tell a story that everyone should listen to. In the first episode he targets Nkandla, and asks if the address should rather focus on the people than President Jacob Zuma’s homestead. Some fascinating insight. – Stuart Lowman
