Mugabe postpones Sona to 6 December

PRESIDENT Robert Mugabe has postponed his State of the Nation Address (SONA) from the 1st of December to the 6th.

Mugabe is expected to address the nation  at a time the country is in a political and economic tailspin characterised by serious cash shortages, company closures, job losses and goods disappearing from the market.

The Clerk of Parliament announced that "Due to unforeseen circumstances, President Mugabe will give his State of the Nation on 6 Dec, not 1 Dec."

President Mugabe is currently in Cuba where he is attending the funeral of Fidel Castro.
