President Cyril Ramaphosa

President Cyril Ramaphosa will on Wednesday convene his third meeting with leaders of South Africa’s political parties represented in Parliament to discuss the national response to the coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic.

In an effort to be inclusive, Ramaphosa has held meetings and consultations with leaders across various sectors of society since the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic.

In March, Ramaphosa met with political party leaders to discuss the pandemic’s impact on businesses and the economy, and sought recommendations to mitigate the impact of Covid-19.
