Preview: Let’s party like we’re 103

On Saturday the African National Congress will throw what it hopes will be the biggest political party of the year, it's annual January 8th Statement, at the Cape Town Stadium. It's the party's bid to set the tone for the political year, to set out its stall of what it will achieve in 2015, and a chance to get a few quick political hits in nice and early. But it's also about policy, with priorities outlined during the set piece speech by the leader expected to reflect in the State of the Nation Address, and then the budget. As a result, the best way to make predictions about 2015 is to closely watch the ANC this weekend. By STEPHEN GROOTES.
