The South African Parliament has suspended nine out of 13 staff members following a security breach and fire incident in the National Assembly building. The accused have been given the chance to defend themselves, and disciplinary hearings await for those unable to present satisfactory defenses. The parliament emphasized the importance of these suspensions in upholding institutional credibility and ensuring an impartial disciplinary process. Meanwhile, Cape Town continues to offer great deals on cars and accommodations amidst the crisis.
