South African President Cyril Ramaphosa, who is up for re-election as head of the ruling African National Congress in December, delivers his annual state-of-the-nation address to lawmakers on Thursday.

The speech, which will take place in Cape Town’s city hall for the first time because part of the parliamentary complex was gutted by a fire last month, is scheduled to begin at 19h00 local time.The government has been paying South Africans who have no other income 350 rand a month to help shield them from the economic devastation wrought by the coronavirus pandemic.

The country has scrapped almost all pandemic-related restrictions, although civil-rights groups and opposition parties are still urging Ramaphosa to end a state of disaster that’s been in place since the first outbreak in 2020, saying it gives the government too much power. The president may outline plans to accelerate and streamline the procurement of more electricity from independent producers and elaborate on the tortuous process of turning around embattled state power utility Eskom.Ramaphosa has identified the fight against graft, which became endemic during his predecessor Jacob Zuma’s nine-year rule, as a top priority.

Africa's news leader.What could President Cyril Ramaphosa’s State of the Nation Address have in store for the hard-hit tourism industry? This is the question on the minds of tourism stakeholders who’ve barely managed to keep afloat during the COVID-19 pandemic. SONA WITH LINDIWE SISULU AS TOURISM MINISTER THE TOURISM INDUSTRY IS DOOMED. Let state of disaster be abolished. Let government create work not opportunities. Prioritise SA citizens in employment. Nothing. Cyril and his criminal ANC cadre's are useless. That's for the entire country, never mind tourism.
