Hi Fanus, It’s pretty much a self-explanatory, guided setup process. Here is an article from a Google Blog:
When your hands are full hosting a party with family and friends, or when you’re just chilling at home, your Google Assistant can help you find your favorite playlist, skip to the next song or turn up the volume. Today, we’re bringing the Assistant to your Sonos system so that you can easily play music on any speaker in your house. Plus, you'll get all the usual help from the Assistant to better manage your day, like traffic to work or your next appointment. With this software update, you can activate the Assistant on your Sonos One and Sonos Beam, or control any other Sonos product from a Google Assistant-enabled device, such as your phone, a smart speaker, or a Smart Display. Here are a few things you can do with the Google Assistant on Sonos: Listen to some tunes. Or news. Or podcasts: While you’re able to play music from all the services the Assistant already supports—including YouTube Music, Pandora, and Spotify—you can also use the Assistant to skip to the next track, pause the music and change volume from the 100+ music services already available on Sonos. It’s also easy to catch up on the latest episode of your favorite podcast just by asking the Assistant. Enjoy entertainment: With the Google Assistant on Sonos Beam and a Chromecast-enabled TV, you can turn on the TV, switch from music to TV, and adjust the volume. You can also stream videos from popular services. Plan your day: Get help with things like your flight information, or traffic on your commute to work. Manage tasks: Set alarms and timers, pull up your calendar appointments, or add items to your shopping list. Get answers: Ask all your questions on sports, weather, calculations, translations and more. Control your home: Ask your Assistant on your speakers to adjust the temperature, lighting, and other smart home devices connected in your home. Get started with the Assistant on your Sonos speaker or soundbar If you already own a Sonos One or Sonos Beam, it’s easy to set up the Assistant. Your speaker and soundbar will automatically receive a software update introducing the Google Assistant as a voice assistant option. Do the following to add Google Assistant to your Sonos speakers: 1. Go to "Voice Services" in the Sonos app under Settings 2. Select Google Assistant 3. Follow the guided setup process We’re starting in the U.S. and then will expand support to the UK, Germany, Canada, Australia, France, The Netherlands and more over the coming months. And here is a link to the Sonos support article about this: Set up the Google Assistant with a Sonos One or Beam<https://support.sonos.com/s/article/3467?language=en_US> I guess you have to check if this is already available in South Africa.

I did not even know that Sonos One can be setup to use Google Assistant. Can you perhaps point me to a site where I can read about setting up Alexa and Google Assistant or does one find info in the Sonos Controler help system?

Obviously the Google Assistant has its advantages in terms of knowing much more than Alexa when it comes to general questions, asking for phone numbers for businesses, making calls etc., but Alexa also has advantages since Audible is supported and so on. Unfortunately so far you do have to choose between the 2, you can change it from time to time but they are not yet both supported simultaneously although I believe it is Sonos’ goal to achieve this. We currently have our Sonos One stereo set in the kitchen set up for Google Assistant and our Sonos One stereo pair in the bathroom for Alexa. It’s nice to have Google in the kitchen since it’s much easier to ask for reccipes, the integration with our new GE cook stove works better and certain other of our home automation also seems to work better on the Google Assistant.
