JOHANNESBURG - The attention shifts to the North West, where Premier Lazarus Mokgosi is set to deliver his State of the Province Address in Mahikeng.
Along with the Eastern Cape, the North West is one of the country's poorest provinces with the worst service delivery, and municipalities struggling to get clean audits.
Residents will be hoping the premier outlines practical plans to address unemployment, the ailing economy, and dilapidated infrastructure.
eNCA Senior reporter Silindelo Masikane has the details.
