Mugabe addresses Zimbabweans

President Mugabe today delivers the State of the Nation Address in Parliament expected to centre on the country's achievements, challenges and the way forward.

SONA was supposed to have been delivered last Thursday but was deferred after President Mugabe flew to Cuba to pay his respects following the demise of that country's founding President, Commandante Fidel Castro Ruz.

President Mugabe will address a joint sitting of the National Assembly and Senate. Millions of Zimbabweans are expected to follow proceedings live on national television.

Clerk of Parliament Kennedy Chokuda said President Mugabe's address will touch on a number of issues of national importance.
