Newly appointed Northern Cape Provincial Legislature Speaker Fufe Makatong says she remains committed to upholding the Constitution and ensuring that it serves the people.
Addressing the House following her appointment, Makatong reflected on her years as a public official since 2014 and the experience gained during that period.
She says the Legislature must strengthen its oversight role by asking critical questions rather than a matter of compliance.
Makatong says the House must also scrutinise whether public resources are being used properly in the interest of good governance.
She further called on political parties to work together in serving communities and warned against undermining the constitutional role of the provincial  legislature.
