Workers at South Africa's parliament are sprucing up the building for the opening of parliament and President Jacob Zuma's state of the nation address (shortened to SONA on Twitter).
AN SABC journalist has been tweeting pictures:
Last year, the opposition Economic Freedom Fighters party staged a walkout over the failure of the president to pay back money spent on upgrades to his private residence.
Mr Zuma has now agreed to pay some of the money back, but he remains under pressure on that issue, as well as the state of the economy.
Trailing tonight's speech (at 17:00GMT) the presidency has released a nine-point plan including "resolving the energy challenge" and "moderating workplace conflict".
