’Plain to host parliament SAMANTHA LEE-JACOBS @Samantha_Lee121
Plain as the venue. “The initiative forms part of a wider commitment by the Sixth Parliament to put the people of the province at the centre of what it does. The intention is that, over the remainder of the term, the provincial parliament will be hosting such events in all the regions of the province,” says Mnqasela. “This will be the first time that the official opening and Sopa will be held outside the parliamentary precinct.” Parliamentary officials are currently in the process of identifying a number of community representatives from Mitchell’s Plain who will be invited to attend the event. Mnqasela says this presents a great opportunity for the Sixth Parliament to fulfil its promises. “It is the aim of the provincial parliament to actively engage with the citizens of the province through a series of public engagement initiatives that will take place over the next four years. From being defined by a building in Cape Town city centre, the provincial parliament seeks to reach out to the furthest corners of the province in order to strengthen the rela-

itchell’s Plain will make history as being the first region to host the provincial parliament away from its Wale Street home. Premier Alan Winde will officially deliver his state of the province address (Sopa), in conjunction with the official opening of the Western Cape provincial parliament, in Rocklands next month. Speaker of the house, Masizole Mnqasela, announced the decision to bring the official sitting of parliament to the community last week. Winde welcomed the announcement, with the event scheduled to take place on Thursday 20 February. “I fully support the Speaker’s initiative to have this year’s official opening of provincial parliament and Sopa in Mitchell’s Plain as it signifies the Western Cape’s commitment to putting its residents at the centre of its service-delivery agenda,” says Winde. The decision to hold the official opening and Sopa at a remote venue was made last year, says Mnqasela, who then identified Mitchell’s

tionship with the people that it represents,” says Mnqasela. Ricardo Mackenzie, a member of provincial parliament and a Mitchell’s Plain constituency head, says as one of the largest areas in the Cape Flats, this is a great honour for the area. “This is incredible for Mitchell’s Plain and will put Mitchell’s Plain on the map. This is also just not a once-off event. I am really excited about this as this is the first time that a Sopa will be held in Mitchell’s Plain,” he says. “This is significant as the focus will be on the area as a whole and I hope that, post the Sopa, government departments not already operating in Mitchell’s Plain and other business will invest and develop Mitchell’s Plain further and with urgency.” The debate on the Sopa and the premier’s reply to the debate will take place the following day (Friday 21 February) at the same venue. “By holding the debate and the premier’s reply in the same venue, we are realising our desire and commitment to connecting with the citizens of the province,” says Mnqasela.
