National Assembly to expedite budgetary process for Covid-19 response

Parties must let the parliamentary administration know how many of their members will attend the sitting at Parliament in Cape Town.

Speaker of the National Assembly Thandi Modise said they are still awaiting a report on the interruption of the committee's meeting two weeks ago, which was interrupted by pornography and racial and sexual slurs directed at Modise.

EFF MP Veronica Mente asked that Parliament be temporarily moved to Pretoria because it is more central and, therefore, easier for more MPs to reach than Cape Town.

She said the EFF only has three MPs in Cape Town, and they all have "underlying issues".

Modise said she requested a legal opinion and wrote to the National Coronavirus Command Council (NCCC) to enquire whether MPs will be allowed to cross provincial borders to attend the virtual sitting.
