Chief Justice Mogoeng Mogoeng will preside over the swearing-in of the designated members of parliament.

The first sittings of the two Houses of Parliament – the National Assembly and the National Council of Provinces – will be on Wednesday and Thursday respectively.

When a member of the provincial legislature gets appointed as a permanent delegate to the NCOP, they cease to be a member of that provincial legislature. After all members have been sworn in, the chief justice presides over the election of the speaker of the National Assembly. The chief justice calls for nominations for the position of speaker from among the members of the National Assembly.

Mogoeng has also designated the judges’ president of the divisions of the high court to preside over the first sittings of the provincial legislatures that will run concurrently with the National Assembly session. If more than one candidate is nominated, a vote must be taken by secret ballot, at which each province present may cast one vote. The chairperson will then preside over the election of the deputy chairperson, house chairpersons, and the chief whip of the NCOP.
