#SONA 2023: Restoration of Parliament

February 09, 2023

Speaking to Radio Islam International, ANC Chief Whip Pemmy Majodina said the following:

-It is now a year since the fire incident that damaged sections of Parliament.

– The finance minister, during the Medium Term Budget Policy Statement in November, allocated R2,3 Billion for the restoration of Parliament.

– The project will start in the new financial year. There will be two phases: phase one will take 24 months, and phase two will take between 36 & 48 months.

– Leaders of Parliament have proposed that the restoration process starts with the old assembly as that is not severely damaged.
