Committee also wants public works and infrastructure to answer complaints about failure to maintain public buildings

Preliminary visual inspections of parliament revealed severe structural damage to second-, third- and fourth-floor slabs, said Patricia de Lille.It’s almost a month since an inferno gutted parliament and the public works department is yet to appoint engineers to assess the damage and probe how the national legislature burnt down.

On January 7 public works and infrastructure minister Patricia de Lille said her department had put in place steps for the procurement of an independent specialist engineering team to conduct further detailed assessments of the damage to the affected buildings and testing of material strength.

De Lille added that the team recommended the New Assembly Building be closed immediately to restrict access as it was unsafe. The committee said it visited the Barberton Correctional Centre and Community Corrections as part of a week-long oversight visit to courts and correctional centres, to assess the prison’s rehabilitation, skills development and integration programmes.
