Governance Cluster Committees Media Briefing


Four Chairpersons from the Governance Cluster of Parliament’s committees will address members of the media on Monday, 3 March, as part of the 7th Parliament’s weekly committee cluster media briefings programme.

The weekly media engagement series began in November 2024 and this week it is set to feature the following chairpersons:

  • Portfolio Committee on Cooperative Governance & Traditional Affairs: Dr Zweli Mkhize
  • Portfolio Committee on Planning, Monitoring and Evaluation: Ms Teliswa Mgweba
  • Portfolio Committee on Public Service and Administration: Mr Jan de Villiers
  • Portfolio Committee on Women, Youth & Persons with Disabilities: Ms Liezl van der Merwe


The Chairpersons are expected to highlight the critical work undertaken by these committees since the start of the 7th Parliament. They will, amongst others, give a brief on municipal governance and finance, planning and legislative reforms in state-owned companies, inclusive education system and legislation, economic infrastructure for job creation and building a professional, capable, ethical and developmental state.

These weekly media briefings are crucial in fostering transparency and keeping the public informed. They provide journalists and citizens with essential insights into the workings of Parliament, promoting a deeper understanding of its critical functions and enhancing accountability in governance.
