The National Assembly sitting which is scheduled to conduct questions for oral reply by the Deputy President, Paul Mashatile, on Thursday afternoon, was delayed due to a spark and smoke emanating from a light at one of the offices in the Goodhope Building, which houses the National Assembly Chamber.
PICTURE: ParliamentParliament’s spokesperson, Moloto Mothapo said that a light
capacitor caused the spark, whose smoke triggered the fire alarm within the
building.
‘’The sitting had to be delayed as a precautionary measure
to ensure safety of Members of Parliament and staff. The spark did not cause
any fire and there was no immediate danger to the occupants of the building.’’
Mothapo said the House will resume once the fire alarms are deactivated.
