This morning, the President is being questioned on parliamentary oversight.
Evidence leader, advocate Alec Freund first highlighted the Nkandla judgement by the Constitutional Court and parliament's failure to hold a sitting president accountable.
Freund then drew Ramaphosa's attention to allegations concerning the wealthy Gupta family:
"You will see Mr President that this is dated, it's issued as we see on the foot of the page, by the parliament of the Republic of South Africa and its headed parliamentary investigation into alleged state capture emails."
"In light of the recent accusations of state capture linked to alleged emails involving several ministers, it will appear that it must be a reference to what has come to be known as the Gupta leaks."

"Nobody has the right to take the life and abuse someone else because of their sexual orientation. No one has the right at all."
His comment comes after a series of violent attacks over the few months including here in KZN.
Just last month - an openly gay man Sphamandla Khoza was stabbed multiple times in an attack apparently fuelled by his sexuality.
The man who killed LGBTQI+ activist Lindokuhle Cele in February last year is serving 25-years in prison.

He's due to give evidence, at the Commission which's been gathering information on allegations of state capture and corruption. The President's scheduled to testify over the next two days, as leader of the ANC and deputy president.
DA leader, John Steenhuisen is there. He's outlined what he expects to hear from the president.
"I think he has a lot to answer for he when he was Jacob Zuma's number two during the worst era of South Africa's post-democratic history of corruption, maladministration, theft, state capture and handing over state assets to well-connected families like the Guptas."

One of them has died.
Ramaphosa spoke to reporters this afternoon after a meeting with senior Transnet officials at the Port of Durban.
The Johnson and Johnson vaccine is halted for now and hopefully not for too long because the scientists are going to look at the efficiency of the vaccine.
