Presiding officers set to outline plans to rebuild fire-damaged Parliament

CAPE TOWN - Parliament’s presiding officers will this week outline plans to rebuild the facility’s fire-damaged buildings.

Parliamentary spokesperson, Moloto Mothapo, said that the fire imposed a collective national trauma that would be etched in the minds of South Africans for many years. "The Presiding Officers of Parliament, the Speaker of the National Assembly and the Chairperson of the National Council of Provinces, will later this week share with the nation details of the rebuilding programme, the project timeframes, and other relevant information at a press conference."

Mothapo said that Parliament remains indebted to the extraordinary and selfless efforts of firefighters. "The accident imposed a collective national trauma that will be etched in the minds of South Africans for many years. Parliament was encouraged by acts of patriotism from various sectors of society during the distressing period, which included volunteerism, offers of support, and messages of solidarity from sister parliaments and other institutions locally and internationally."

Does the parliament really need to be rebuilt? Can't they rather build low cost apartments so that SA citizens can benefit from it...

A full year later and now only are there 'plans' to rebuild useless voetsecanc

Finally they've targeted the right place to burn.... hope it happens again and soon

Leave that hole alone. Fix eskom then fix that as a reward for fixing eskom. Nothing gets done in there anyway

Quick to rebuild stupid silly things but slow to give our people land

Who actually was behind this? Nobody held responsible. Taxpayer will pay.

Words of advise don't you have audits that out lie costs of material and construction do a revamp with upgrades to infrastructure so that it won't randomly catch fire or do that with the whole of South African infrastructure for proper job creation and stuff

Show us the outline of which cadres are set to have their pockets filled with the rebuilding process

'set the outline' ooo hahaha = yes, how to set it alight next time = ask Patricia, she knows how to make the place open to all criminals by not paying security staff overtime and thus nobody guards the place and sprinklers are not working due to neglect = the aint-no-cee eish!

Will this take as long as starting to repair jobug hospital?
