Committee meetings are planned events where real-world impactful work happens such as law-making, oversight and public participation - which are all cornerstones of the work our MPs do. Although often citizens focus on the public debate taking place in main chambers, the majority of MPs' time is spent working within committees. Here is a place to see what your committee is saying.
The Committee Secretary, Ms Shereen Cassiem, thanked all for attending. She expressed apologies on behalf of Minister Nkosazana Dlamini Zuma ...
