The stage is set for a high-stakes State of the Nation Address (SONA) 2026, a year where the political landscape has shifted from a single-party dominant system to the complex, often friction-filled reality of the Government of National Unity (GNU).

Thabiso Tema spoke to Sinawo Thambo – EFF National Spokesperson and Abel Tau – MK Party Gauteng Spokesperson.
