Parliament, Sunday, 11 October 2026 – This week, the National Assembly (NA) will focus on Budgetary Review and Recommendations Reports (BRRRs). This key oversight process allows Parliament to assess how government departments have used their budgets and whether they have delivered on their commitments to South Africans.
Through this process, parliamentary committees examine departmental annual reports, identify areas of poor performance and make recommendations to improve service delivery and inform future budget allocations. Neither the National Assembly nor the National Council of Provinces (NCOP) has scheduled plenary sittings this week, allowing Members of Parliament to dedicate their time to committee work.
There are 44 committee meetings scheduled from Tuesday to Friday this week. They include:
