Zuma will be answering questions for the last time this year.


It's believed the president will come under fire for former Public Protector's State of Capture report and Minister Des van Rooyen and Mosebenzi Zwane's involvement in this.   


University fees, the politically connected Gupta family and a possible ratings downgrade will also be on the agenda.

A parliamentary sitting never ends without a disruption or outbursts that aren't recognised by the Speaker. 


The DA meanwhile has requested that Speaker Baleka Mbete not chair the session - saying she protects him from answering difficult questions during the session.


DA Chief Whip John Steenhuisen was quoted as saying her role has shifted to defending Zuma instead of Parliament and the rights of Members of Parliament.
