President Cyril Ramaphosa faces questions in Parliament on the government's handling of the coronavirus crisis on his first question and answer session since he declared a state of national disaster.
Johannesburg - President Cyril Ramaphosa is set to face questions from MPs on the government's handling of the coronavirus crisis on his first question and answer session since he declared a state of national disaster in March.
Since then the country has been in a national lockdown in efforts to fight the spread of the diseases. Many of the regulations enforced by the government to restrict movement have been criticised with mounting court action challenging their validity. The questions the president will face deal mainly with the government's handling of the coronavirus outbreak.
Whether the president’s decision to ease the lockdown from alert level 5 to level 4 and level 3 within a short space of time was informed by scientific evidence?
