It’s all systems go for the official opening of Parliament.
On Thursday, President Cyril Ramaphosa will outline the key priorities and policies of the 7th administration.
The opening of Parliament will be attended by members of both houses, the National Assembly and National Council of Provinces and will mark the start of the new five-year parliamentary cycle.
The address provides President Cyril Ramaphosa an opportunity to outline the key priorities and policies of the seventh administration. The seventh administration is made up of several political parties that formed a Government of National Unity founded on the respect for the Constitution, the Bill of Rights in its entirety, a united South Africa and the rule of law.
The Opening of Parliament Address coincides with the United Nations-declared Nelson Mandela International Day. The day calls on people around the world to take action to help change the world for the better, and by doing so, build a global movement for good.
