North West acting premier and human settlements, co-operative governance and traditional affairs MEC Nono Maloyi is delivering the state of the province address on Tuesday in Mahikeng.
In an 11th-hour about-turn, premier Bushy Maape's office announced he would not deliver the speech despite having confirmed that he would two days ago.
Maape on Monday extended Maloyi's period as acting premier. Maloyi has held the position since June when Maape underwent orthopaedic surgery.
