Stylish earrings to gold shoes on show at South Africa's biggest political event
BBC News
Politicians, musicians, and celebrities arrived in their most glamorous looks for one of South Africa's biggest political events - the State of the Nation Address (Sona), making it almost as much about fashion as politics.
Sona is a joint sitting of the two houses of parliament in Cape Town to mark the start of the government's work for the year, where President Cyril Ramaphosa paints a picture of where the country stands and outlines the road ahead.
In his speech, President Ramaphosa talked about the nation's resilience, earning rapturous applause when he declared, "South Africa will not be bullied."
His stance comes after his US counterpart Donald Trump threatened to cut funding over South Africa's land policy.
While governance takes centre stage, Sona has evolved into a fashion spectacle over the years, with MPs using their outfits to support local designers and showcase South African talent.
The outfits are always a hot topic on social media, and this year is no exception.
Praise singer Inako Mateza, this year's imbongi (traditional praise poet), played a key

Mwelo Nonkonyana
South African politician and traditional leader (born 1957)
Mwelo Nonkonyana (born 15 November 1957) is a South African politician, sports administrator, and Pondo traditional leader. He is currently serving as provincial chairperson of the Congress of Traditional Leaders of South Africa (Contralesa) in the Eastern Cape, an office which he formerly held from 1991 to 2008. He is also a former vice-president of the South African Football Association (SAFA).
Serving since 1993 as the chief of the amaBhala clan, Nonkonyana was the inaugural chairperson of the Eastern Cape House of Traditional Leaders from 1996 to 1999. Between 1999 and 2014, he represented the African National Congress (ANC) for three terms in the National Assembly. During the same period, he remained active in his Contralesa office, as well as in SAFA.
Often a controversial figure, Nonkonyana was expelled from Contralesa in October 2009 and from SAFA in October 2014. In July 2020, he was additionally fired as chairperson of the Eastern Cape House of Traditional Leaders, an office to which he had returned in 2017. Although his efforts to return to SAFA failed, he was re-admitted to Contralesa in 2017 and resumed the provincial chairmanship in March 2022.
