Covid-19 has put the brakes on the traditional parade of politicians, celebrities and dignitaries putting their best fashion foot forward at the opening of Parliament.

Johannesburg - This year's State of the Nation Address will not be held with the usual red carpet glamour and most social events that have traditionally accompanied the fanfare around the opening of Parliament have also been cancelled.

Politicians and invited usually order glamorous gowns, dresses and suits for the occasion, but this year there’s no clamour for a showstopping outfit that will impress fashion editors. “Being a household brand we have big clients from the government and high profile individuals who attend these type of ceremonies and now we have nothing,” Molingoana said.

Another local designer Hangwani Nenghovela, from Rubicon, said she also used to provide designer wear for clients who attend the SONA.
