Parliament has apologised for the inconvenience caused by the suspicious package that was left unattended on the precinct outside the 90 Plein Building on Wednesday morning.

It has since been removed from the precinct by the police. Earlier police had to redirect staff, guests and the media to enter the precinct through other entrances. The package was wrapped with plastic, marked fragile and resembled the shape of a small coffin.

However, there is still no confirmation on who the package belonged to. The discovery of the package happened at a time when the Section 194 inquiry into suspended Public Protector Busisiwe Mkhwebane’s fitness to hold office resumed on Wednesday morning. Members of the National Assembly are also attending a weeklong workshop in the Good Hope Chamber. Parliament says it’s a capacity building workshop.The workshop is looking into various ways to capacitate MPs.
