, Parliament of South Africa can expect more robust debates and that President Cyril Ramaphosa’s executive should prepare itself for heightened accountability and stronger oversight.
Even though the bulk of ministers are still ANC members, with the party having only 40 % of the vote, the make-up of Parliamentary committees will change. “The tradition in our country is that the ANC has not only had cabinet, it also had Parliament. It’s also had the benefit of being the only party to have chairs across Parliament and that’s actually weakened accountability a lot. So having a multiparty government would then translate it would seem into having multi-party chairs, across Parliament as well.
