The Democratic Alliance has called on Parliament to resume full operations from tomorrow as the country moves to lockdown level 1.
The party says the institution should put COVID-19 protocols in place and resume all legislative functions.
DA Chief Whip Natasha Mazzone says the national legislature ought to lead by
example and stop making excuses.
She says, "If the country is expected to open and schools are expected to open, certainly parliament should lead by example following all COVID-19 protocols.
Parliament should exactly show the country how one can operate in the time of covid pandemic by following all safety protocols and disinfections protocols.
But certainly Parliament needs to hold the executive to account.
It needs to show that the country we are operation, that we are running and needs to lead by example.""https://scontent-jnb1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/119962087_3554320881286937_758651688657393314_n.jpg?_nc_cat=110&_nc_sid=8024bb&_nc_ohc=Akrnj9F7EOgAX-OpMrK&_nc_ht=scontent-jnb1-1.xx&oh=69b5bda429d6fc65c755a88323043d30&oe=5F8BCFE4"
