Opposition parties have given the institution a thumbs down on how it conducted business.

Keeping the executive on its toes, and holding President Cyril Ramaphosa and his Cabinet to account, is one of the key responsibilities of Parliament. This duty rests on all 400 MPs, across party lines. With the sixth Parliament in the process of wrapping its work, opposition parties have given the institution a thumbs down on how it conducted this business.

“Various other things like asking questions to the executive, whether written or oral questions. Ministers arrive in the house and they answer in whatever way, presiding officers don’t necessarily hold them to account, so I think in terms of what we have been able to initiate I’m incredibly proud of the work of the opposition,” says Siviwe Gwarube, DA Chief Whip.

“We could have done better in terms of keeping the executive to account. I think we did not do that very effectively but it’s part of the reality of how Parliament was functioning or not functioning,” says Dr Corne Mulder, FF+ Chief Whip. Parliament says the true test of democracy is the extent to which it can ensure that government remains answerable to the people.
