held and the results declared by the Electoral Commission of South Africa (IEC)
last week.
“It is an established practice in South Africa that after
the announcement by the IEC of the results of the National and Provincial
Elections, the IEC hands over the lists of Members of Parliament and Provincial
Legislatures to the Chief Justice who then hands them over to the Secretary to
Parliament.
“In line with this practice, Chief Justice R M M Zondo will
on 06 June 2024 officially receive from the Chairperson of the Electoral
Commission the lists of designated Members of Parliament (MPs) and members of
Provincial Legislatures,” the Office of the Chief Justice said in a statement.
The office said following that, the Chief Justice is
expected to hand over the National Assembly lists to Parliament’s secretary “in
preparation for the first sitting of the National Assembly”.
“The Chief Justice also transmits the lists of designated
members of the Provincial Legislatures to the designated Judges President who
will preside over the first sittings of the Provincial Legislatures,” the
statement said.
