DA wants COVID-19 vaccine plan debated before the new year

The Democratic Alliance (DA) wants Parliament to reconvene before South Africa ushers in the new year, to debate the COVID-19 vaccination plan.

President Cyril Ramaphosa announced in his latest address to the nation on Monday, 28 December 2020, that the country had managed to pay the R327 million required towards the World Health Organisation’s (WHO) COVAX facility.

Ramaphosa said the country will be amongst the first in line to receive the ground-breaking treatment.
