Ramaphosa to testify at SAHRC hearings into July unrest
President Cyril Ramaphosa will on Friday appear before the South African Human Rights Commission hearings into the July unrest.
Presidency spokesperson Tyrone Seale says Ramaphosa will give testimony in regards to his responsibility as head of state.
"The Commission launched the investigative hearings to exercise its constitutional and statutory mandate in relation to the causes of the unrest as well as the impact of the unrest on human rights."
Last year's civil unrest has been described as the worst since the dawn of democracy in South Africa.

The violence was supposedly triggered by a Constitutional Court judgment which found former president Jacob Zuma guilty of contempt of court.
What began as a 'Free Zuma' campaign led to the deaths of at least 300 people in Gauteng and KwaZulu-Natal.
