Zuma's speech was uninspiring: ACDP #SONA2015

President Jacob Zuma's state-of-the-nation address was "very uninspiring", the ACDP said on Thursday.

"I almost fell asleep for the first time. I had to go out to get fresh air," said African Christian Democratic Party leader Kenneth Meshoe.

Asked what his impression of the speech was, he replied: "Very uninspiring."

He said the president needed to give South Africans hope, but he failed to do that.

An example was Eskom's woes and scheduled black-outs.

"Load shedding -- we wanted details, because the president is aware of what the people are concerned about," said Meshoe.
