President Ramaphosa's first Q&A

Today, Wednesday 14 March 2018, at 15h00, the National Assembly meets with one item on its agenda - questions for oral reply by the President. This is President Ramaphosa's first question and answer session. This is a standing item on the agenda of the National Assembly and the President once per quarter. The questions are sifted and published beforehand to ensure that only questions satisfying the set criteria are put to the President. Four supplementary questions, arising from the reply to a question, are allowed over three hours. The process is one way in which Parliament holds the President accountable.
