Cope leader Mosiuoa Lekota walked out, EFF MPs were disruptive and President Zuma delivered his toughest speech yet, but the real star of the State of the Nation Address turned out to be a sign language interpreter.
The unnamed woman signing “Zupta Must Fall! Zupta Must Fall! Zupta Must Fall!” had many in stitches, including herself.
The result? One of the best pieces of parliamentary TV we’ve ever seen.
The unidentified woman definitely wins SONA.
As the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) were disrupting the address with their calls of “Zupta [a portmanteau of Zuma and the Gupta family who are his patrons] Must Fall!”, it was left to one TV sign language interpreter to figure out the best way to convey what they were saying.
