Cyril Ramaphosa

In a country marred by systematic discrimination and continued social marginalisation, particular consideration needs to be given to the measures being used to contain the spread of COVID-19.

South Africa's President Cyril Ramaphosa has said that he reprimanded Minister Stella Ndabeni-Abrahams by placing her on 2 months special leave (1 month unpaid) and directed her to deliver a public apology to South Africans for violating COVID-19 lockdown regulations.

President Cyril Ramaphosa will address South Africa's inaugural 4th Industrial Revolution Summit at the Gallagher Convention Center in Midrand. His keynote address will simultaneously be broadcast live in Rusternburg via a hologram.

South Africa's departments of science and technology and higher education have been merged. The government needs to explain the realignment to key institutions.
