Word on the street is that rap star of the moment, Cassper Nyovest, real name Refiloe Phoolo, has been invited by Parliament to attend this year’s State of the Nation Address (SONA) by President Jacob Zuma.
The announcement, which Cassper is yet to share on social media, has been doing the rounds on Twitter.


Several reports allege that the Tito Mboweni hit maker will share the seats of parliament with two other notable entertainment industry players when the sitting takes place on February 8.

These have been confirmed as reigning Miss Universe, Demi-Leigh Nel-Peters as well as five-time Grammy award-winning group, Ladysmith Black Mambazo.



Every year the State Of The Nation Address sitting in parliament extends an invitation to notable entertainers to attend.
