Deputy President Paul Mashatile’s question and answer session in the National Council of Provinces (NCOP) scheduled for Thursday evening has been postponed.
TimesLIVE has seen communication from NCOP chief whip Kenny Mmoiemang to political party whips informing them of the postponement.
“Kindly be informed that the NCOP virtual plenary on questions to the deputy president has been deferred until further notice,” wrote Mmoiemang.
He asked the whips to revise their programmes and to continue with oversight work and where necessary to include additional oversight areas, sites or projects to visit on Thursday.
This comes days after Mashatile had a health scare when he collapsed while delivering his address at the N’wamitwa Day celebrations in Tzaneen on Saturday.
His office has been at pains to assure South Africa that he was “in good health”.
“He is in high spirits and is resting at home after his travel back to his home yesterday,” said his acting spokesperson Keith Khoza on Sunday.
Mashatile was going to face questions about revitalising or growing the manufacturing sector, centralisation of SOEs, service delivery challenges and extortion in the township economy among others.
