SA delegations congratulates new Pan-African Parliament president | News24

The South African delegation to PAP congratulated him on his election.

Charumbira, a Zimbabwean senator and president of the Zimbabwe Council of Chiefs, was elected on Wednesday. His election followed a protracted battle over the principle of geographical rotation, which resulted in the abrupt breakdown of PAP's session in June 2021, with EFF leader Julius Malema a central figure in the chaos when he threatened a delegate from Mali.

"I am a president for everyone despite how you voted, it is high time we put our African people forward and do away with unnecessary conflicts. Together we can achieve more, we will only develop our continent when united and this is an essential thing for our people to see and experience in our lifetime."

"We are happy that the process of reconstituting the continental parliament is complete, our focus now is to revive the PAP's drive for pan-African unity, collective prosperity, inclusive social and economic development, including regional and continental integration. The conference follows a resolution made by NAM Heads of State and Governments at their 2019 conference to recognise the strategic value of parliaments in translating international protocols and policies into national frameworks.

Mapisa-Nqakula leads a delegation comprising National Council of Provinces deputy chairperson Sylvia Lucas, ANC deputy chief whip Dorris Dlakude, ANC MP and chairperson of the Portfolio Committee on Higher Education Nompumelelo Mkhatshwa, DA MP Mergan Chetty, and UDM MP Nqabayomzi Kwankwa.
