It did not elaborate on calls for relocating the legislature, reignited after the devastating blaze.The ANC caucus has agreed that our focus as the ANC is to ensure we wrestle out between those who are recommending the use of the facilities of the City of Cape Town and those who are pushing for the permanent relocation of parliament to Tshwane,” it said.
