Deputy President Paul Mashatile will address the National Assembly on Thursday to answer questions about municipal service delivery, crime prevention and agricultural development. The session begins at 2 p.m. and streams live on parliamentary channels for public viewing.

Lawmakers will question Mashatile about the government's responses to failing municipalities and strategies for repaying Eskom debts, which reached 94.6 billion rand by March. Questions also cover fresh produce market reforms to help small farmers and enhanced crime intelligence operations aimed at combating gang violence.

The deputy president will explain land redistribution plans targeting 138,000 hectares and programs supporting rural agriculture. He must detail HIV prevention efforts aimed at women and girls who represent more than 60 percent of new infections nationwide.

Parliament requires cabinet members to account for their performance under constitutional oversight rules. The government deployed rapid response teams to address basic service failures in struggling municipalities across multiple provinces this year.
