Parliament says it will take all necessary steps to ensure the state of the nation address (Sona) is successful.
The house has budgeted more than R8m for its most important annual occasion.
It is set to take place in Cape Town on Thursday from 7pm, with parliamentary speaker Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula saying it's all systems go for President Cyril Ramaphosa's address.
Load-shedding hit South Africans hard this and last year, but it will not be a factor in parliament on Thursday as Eskom has undertaken to exclude it from power cuts that night.
