South African Parliament

The South African Parliament is the country's legislative body responsible for making and passing laws. It consists of two houses: the National Assembly, whose members are elected by citizens to represent their interests, and the National Council of Provinces, which represents regional governments. Parliament debates bills, scrutinizes government actions, and approves budgets, playing a crucial role in governance and democracy. It operates in the capital, Pretoria, and works to ensure laws reflect the will of the people while overseeing executive activities.
