The EFF has reiterated its call for parliament to be fully reopened for MPs to meet physically to pass legislation and conduct their oversight of the executive.

The Old Assembly and National Assembly wings were closed after the buildings were gutted by a fire in January.

“In the meeting which was supposed to be physically held with the Speaker of the National Assembly and attended by all chief whips, the EFF proposed one of the immediate measures must be the use of the Oliver Tambo community hall in Khayelitsha as a temporary place for the National Assembly plenary sessions.

“Additionally, a parliament in Tshwane will make it easier for civil society formations and communities to make oral submissions to laws before parliament because it will be possible for people from Limpopo, North West, Mpumalanga, Northern Cape, Free State, KwaZulu-Natal and Eastern Cape to drive in and out of Tshwane to make oral submissions to laws and lodge petitions and return home on the same day.
