A video of members of the SA National Defence Force (SANDF) marching to Zakes Bantwini's hit song Osama is circulating on social media and has set a vibe for the 2022 state of the nation address (Sona).

The video shows members of the SANDF marching to Osama during a practice parade in Cape Town.

It has been met with requests for a SANDF “Osama performance” before President Cyril Ramaphosa's address on Thursday.

The City Hall is a temporary venue after a fire ravaged the parliamentary precinct last month.

The National Joint Operational and Intelligence Structure (Natjoints) has warned against attempts to disrupt proceedings. 

Here are some of the reactions:
