Parliament was still to receive a report on the feasibility study to relocate the national legislature to Pretoria, Speaker Thandi Modise said.

Cape Town - Parliament was still to receive a report on the feasibility study to relocate the national legislature to Pretoria, National Assembly Speaker Thandi Modise said on Tuesday.

In April, then Public Works Minister Thulas Nxesi said in a written response to parliamentary question that Public Works Department had identified the possible construction sites for the relocation of Parliament to Pretoria. "The precinct does not have enough venues to accommodate all committee sittings. We spend too much money renting venues outside Parliament."

Modise also said the disciplinary hearing of suspended Secretary to Parliament Gengezi Mgidlana was ongoing. Modise also announced that Parliament has fully insourced the catering and cleaning staff to permanent employment.
