President Cyril Ramaphosa answered questions virtually in Parliament on Thursday. It was his first Q&A session since he declared a state of national disaster because of the coronavirus pandemic.
President Cyril Ramaphosa insists that every decision taken by the government on the lockdown regulations were not "thumb-sucked" but were driven by scientific advice.
EFF leader Julius Malema questioned Ramaphosa on the government's approach to move out of a hard lockdown. Malema said to his party it was clear that the government's approach was not motivated by scientific advice but by profit motives.“We have said that we have been advised by top scientists in our country and we have also benchmarked what is happening in other parts of the world.
In response to the question from the IFP on which measures the government was taking to ensure funds set aside for the pandemic were not miss-used, Ramaphosa said protecting the funds is important.
