LIVE NEWS| President Ramaphosa to address the nation at 20:30 Tonight

President Cyril Ramaphosa will address the nation on Wednesday evening on SA’s measures to combat the spread of the novel coronavirus. 

SA has been under a strict lockdown since late March, which was partially lifted when it moved to a less strict level of restrictions more than two weeks ago in a bid to kickstart parts of the economy. 

The presidency said on Wednesday afternoon that Ramaphosa would address the nation at 8.30pm.

The presidency said the address follows a number of meetings of the cabinet and the National Coronavirus Command Council. 

His address comes a day after the DA called on the president to address the nation about the lockdown.
