The rebuilding initiative represents the country’s commitment to preserving and enhancing democratic principles, with transparency and accessibility to proceedings reflecting those values. The Parliament of South Africa is rebuilding the firedamaged National Assembly and Old Assembly buildings, as well as revamping the 90 Plein Street building to ensure continuity of governance. The Secretary to Parliament, Mr. Xolile George, will provide an update on the progress of the reconstruction project at a media briefing on February 2, 2024.
