The National Assembly (NA) is a vital component of the South African Parliament, responsible for electing the President, enacting laws, overseeing the executive branch, and providing a platform for public debates. The Speaker, as the head of the National Assembly, holds constitutional, procedural, and administrative powers. With oversight from Parliament, the NA collaborates with reporting entities such as the Auditor-General, Electoral Commission, Public Protector, and more, to ensure transparency, accountability, and the protection of citizens' rights.
