The Parliament of the Republic of South Africa is a premier institution in the country, given its status as the legislative authority of South Africa.

Parliament is not just a building; it’s the heart of our democracy where the country’s representatives gather to discuss important issues affecting the people, pass laws meant to promote the public good and promote accountability and transparency in governance. The two houses that make up Parliament, the National Assembly and the National Council of Provinces, each with its distinct role and functions set out in the Constitution, work together to oversee the promotion of the constitutional values of human dignity, equality, non-racialism and non-sexism, human rights, and freedom.
