South African government entities
South Africa’s government consists of various entities that work together to run the country effectively. The executive branch, led by the President, oversees government departments and implements policies. Parliament, made up of the National Assembly and National Council of Provinces, creates laws and represents citizens. The judiciary interprets laws through courts. Provincial governments manage regional affairs, while local municipalities handle community services. State-owned entities, like Eskom (electricity) and Transnet (transport), provide essential services and infrastructure. These entities collectively ensure governance, service delivery, and development across the country.
