President Cyril Ramaphosa is expected to face questions in the NCOP on illegal immigration, border control and asylum system challenges during a question-and-answer session on Thursday.
President Cyril Ramaphosa is facing questions in the National Council of Provinces (NCOP) on Thursday afternoon on issues ranging from illegal immigration and border management to South Africa's asylum system.
The question-and-answer session comes amid growing public debate over undocumented migration, border security, and the government's handling of asylum seekers and refugees.
Parliament spokesperson Moloto Mothapo said the session forms part of Parliament’s constitutional mandate to hold the executive accountable.
“Oral question-and-answer sessions with the President, Deputy President and Cabinet Ministers are one of the mechanisms Parliament uses to hold the Executive to account, as stipulated in Section 92(2) of the Constitution,” Mothapo said.
