As the Executive stands idly by as the country hurtles towards a possible grid collapse, National Assembly Speaker, Nosiviwe Mapisa Nqakula has refused to hold them accountable.

By so doing, she has reduced Parliament to a spectator on the electricity crisis and undermined Parliament’s constitutional function to hold the executive to account.
