During his period of absence, the Deputy President will undertake a visit to the Russian Federation for a scheduled medical consultation. As reported this consultation is a follow-up to a previous medical consultation that the Deputy President received from the Russian Federation.
Meanwhile, President Cyril Ramaphosa will address the nation on Sunday, June 27, at 8 pm. This comes after the President met with the National Coronavirus Command Council in a special briefing on Saturday, June 26.
However, as always social media has shown us the funnier side of things.
Lmao why Russia? We have doctors here
