Ramaphosa to answer questions in parly on Thursday

Possibly the most controversial is how many times beleaguered Social Development Minister Bathabile Dlamini has been in the House.


Deputy President Cyril Ramaphosa will have a slightly easier day on Thursday when he answers questions for the second time in two weeks in the National Assembly.

Ramaphosa has six questions to answer.

Questions on the financial stability of SAA and security concerns in parliament following violence inside the National Assembly have also been asked.
