The country is on day 48 of the nationwide lockdown and it's been 20 days since President Cyril Ramaphosa addressed the nation.Among those calling for the president to speak to the nation is DA leader John Steenhuisen.
“It is unthinkable that any country in this perilous situation should go for almost three weeks without a sign of its leader. Earlier this week, acting minister of communications Jackson Mthembu said Ramaphosa only speaks when its “necessary”, unlike other countries’ presidents who communicate with their citizens regularly.
