The opening of Parliament took place in Cape Town on 11 February, exactly 20 years since Mandela was released from prison. The event was themed in honour of Nelson Mandela. It was also the first night time opening of Parliament, although the sun was still shining brightly. This video shows interviews with a few attendees, asking what they were expecting ahead of Jacob Zuma's State of the Nation address.
