Parliament News – What’s Happening Right Now

Did you know the South African Parliament building survived a major fire in 2022 and kept working without missing a session? That shows how important the institution is for keeping the country moving. On this page you’ll find the freshest stories, easy ways to follow debates, and clear explanations of what’s being decided.

Every week MPs gather to discuss budgets, health policies, education reforms, and the laws that affect your daily life. If you’ve ever wondered why a bill suddenly appears on the news, it started in one of these chambers. The tag page pulls together every article we publish about those sessions, so you don’t have to hunt across the site.

Understanding Parliament’s Structure

The South African Parliament has two houses: the National Assembly and the Council of Provinces. The National Assembly is where most laws are introduced and voted on. It holds 400 members elected every five years, and it’s the place you’ll hear the biggest headlines.

The Council of Provinces represents each province’s interests. Its 90 members make sure regional concerns aren’t ignored when national policies are shaped. Knowing which house is handling a topic helps you follow the right debates and spot where your province stands.
