President Cyril Ramaphosa is scheduled to appear before the National Assembly on Tuesday for a critical question-and-answer session. The session is expected to cover pressing national issues, with millions of citizens anticipated to follow the proceedings.
The President is likely to face intense questioning from Members of Parliament on a range of challenges. Key topics on the agenda include ongoing electricity shortages and the performance of power utility Eskom, the state of the economy amid rising living costs, and the persistent crisis of youth unemployment.
Other pressing issues may include recent corruption allegations involving government officials and the management of the country’s borders. There is also speculation about a potential cabinet reshuffle.
While members of the ruling ANC are expected to be supportive, opposition parties like the EFF and DA have promised to press the President for clear answers. EFF leader Julius Malema stated his party intends to ask the tough questions on the public’s mind.
The session is being widely discussed on social media, with many South Africans expressing a desire for concrete solutions rather than promises. The President’s performance is seen as a key test of his administration’s ability to address the country’s most urgent problems.
The event will be broadcast live on various platforms, allowing the public to watch the proceedings directly.
