Callers were invited to raise concerns with President Jacob Zuma during a recent GCIS-facilitated radio interview that gave citizens the opportunity to talk with the First Citizen.

In the interview, the President said that during a state visit to South Africa by President Edgar Lungu from the Republic of Zambia in December, both presidents noted the drought’s negative impact and pledged to work closely with the region and development partners to explore possible mitigation strategies.

President Jacob Zuma has assured citizens that the National Development Plan (NDP) 2030 is being implemented and that the monitoring of service delivery is taken very seriously by government.

He discussed this and other issues in a Government Communication and Information System (GCIS) radio interview recently, which was broadcast by community radio stations across the country and allowed people in more rural areas access to the President.
