Claim 1: “President Cyril Ramaphosa will appear before the National Assembly on Thursday for a question-and-answer session.”
CORROBORATED
The claim that President Ramaphosa will appear before the National Assembly on Thursday for a Q&A session is explicitly confirmed by a web search result titled 'POLITICAL WEEK AHEAD: Ramaphosa faces grilling in parliament' (GCIS), which states he will face questions on Thursday. Another web search result mentions a session on Wednesday, but the specific 'Political Week Ahead' source directly corroborates the Thursday schedule for the oversight function.
