BREAKING. SABC2's Morning Live in Cape Town, 7de Laan dumped for State of Nation speech.


You're reading it here first.

I can exclusively first reveal that SABC2's Morning Live will be in Cape Town next week and that SABC2's flagship breakfast show will be covering the opening of parliament.

In another huge twist SABC2 will be broadcasting president Jacob Zuma's State of the Nation address LIVE, but on Thursday evening at 19:00 on 11 February 2010.  This year, for the first time ever, the opening of parliament will take place in the evening.

SABC2 will be carrying the proceedings live from 18:00 on Thursday (11 Feb) next week, which means the schedule will be adjusted. Opening of Parliament starts LIVE at 18:00, with Zuma's speech at 19:00. The Afrikaans news (usually called Nuus om 7) follows at 20:30. This means that next Thursday's episode of the soap opera 7de Laan will bite the dust.
