A private members bill has been tabled to move the seat of parliament from Cape Town to Pretoria.
The Economic Freedom Fighters has tabled a new private members bill to the National Assembly, laying the groundwork for parliament to be moved from Cape Town to Pretoria.
It also noted that the parliament is located in the farthest province from the majority of provinces, making it inaccessible to the majority of South Africans, including Members of Parliament, who spend a significant amount of time travelling to and from the region. On top of this, prior to the January 2022 fires that gutted the parliamentary buildings, the government was planning on spending R4.2 billion on various precinct renovations and refurbishments.
Following the fire, parliament – together with the department of public works and infrastructure – assessed the extent of the damage caused, the estimated costs and the quantification of the damage.
