WE DON'T HAVE "SPEAKER OF PARLIAMENT" IN OUR CONSTITUTION

Over an extended period, Parliament has observed a consistent and growing erroneous use of the title “Speaker of Parliament” when referring to the Presiding Officer of the National Assembly. The correct title is “Speaker of the National Assembly.” This inaccuracy has persisted across various sectors of our society.

This error, while often perceived as harmless or colloquial, has escalated to the point where it risks becoming entrenched in the public consciousness as an acceptable reference. This misrepresentation overlooks the specific constitutional functions and structures of our bicameral Parliament, as stipulated in our Constitution.

Section 42 of our Constitution clearly outlines that Parliament consists of two distinct Houses – the National Assembly and the National Council of Provinces (NCOP). Each plays a vital role in the legislative process, representation, and governance of our country. The National Assembly is elected to represent the people and to ensure government by the people under the Constitution. The National Council of Provinces represents the provinces to ensure that provincial interests are considered in the national sphere of government.

According to Section 52 and Section 64 of the Constitution, the National Assembly and the National Council of Provinces are each presided over by their respective heads, elected from among their members – the Speaker of the National Assembly and the Chairperson of the National Council of Provinces.

The constant reference to the head of the National Assembly as the “Speaker of Parliament” is not only constitutionally incorrect but also implies a unicameral legislative system, which South Africa does not have. Such a misunderstanding diminishes the critical roles and representation of both Houses in our bicameral system and the significant position of the NCOP and its Chairperson.

Parliament finds it imperative to address this error publicly, especially among key societal players, in the interest of upholding the integrity and understanding of our constitutional democracy.
