Deputy President Paul Mashatile is set to face tough questions in the National Assembly on Thursday afternoon.

The uMkhonto weSizwe Party plans to ask him for his views on the outcome of a police disciplinary process that cleared eight members of the South African Police Service VIP Unit of assaulting a man.

The incident happened on the N1 highway near Sandton in Johannesburg in June 2023.

Other MPs have questions on interventions in fighting escalating gang violence and progress on addressing water problems in the country.

There is also a question on the impact of the United States’ withdrawal of the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief.
