Social media reaction to the chaotic 2015 State of the Nation address:
- Even the heavens weep in Cape Town for the sad state of politics in our country. #SONA2015 please bring back our nation's rainbow. – Jo-Ann Strauss
- This speech is like trying to resume the Xmas lunch after that weird cousin had a nervous breakdown and swore at everyone. – Charles Cilliers
- Why must everyone but the ANC compromise? I don't support this logic. The root of all this chaos is lack of accountability on Nkandla. – Lukhona Mnguni
- The man from Nkandla will go down in history as the SA president who has had so many negative "firsts" during his reign. – Mawande Mvumvu
- This drama is a very visual example of why you should never sweep anything under the carpet and hope it goes away forever. – Devi Sankaree Govender
- DA, EFF, keep your heads up. This is a war on corruption. – Kabelo Lesiba Kgoele
I mean, these guys have made Maimane look radical. – Ory Okolloh Mwangi
And, on a lighter note, Twitter users were aflutter after the president got our new Miss World's name wrong. Uveka Rangappa commented: "Ronelle Strauss??? She's only the first Miss SA to become Miss World in how long? Don't be upset, Rolene!"
