The Economic Freedom Fighters might steal yet again steal South African President Jacob Zuma's spotlight when he addresses the country during his State of the Nation Address. The EFF has said it will push for Zuma's impeachment after the Constitutional Court's judgement on the Nkandla saga. Earlier this week the Constitutional court heard the case regarding Zuma's paying back monies spent for non - security upgrades at his private residence of Nkandla in the KwaZulu Natal province. The South African Police Services announced that it has beefed up security in parliament ahead of the SONA, while the National Assembly has announced that there won't be any point of orders during the president's address. Zuma is expected to address issues on the economy and social cohesion among others. The focus on Economic growth will also be necessary to prevent international rating agencies downgrading South Africa's sovereign rating to junk status, to create jobs and to attain all the government's big strategic goals.
