The National Assembly is expected to hold a plenary sitting on Thursday to elect a new National Assembly Speaker.

This comes after former Speaker Thandi Modise was appointed Minister of Defence and Military Veterans.

Lechesa Tsenoli is currently the acting National Assembly Speaker.

President Cyril Ramaphosa recently undertook a Cabinet reshuffle which saw Modise replace Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula as Defence Minister.

Ramaphosa was under pressure to reshuffle his Cabinet after the country’s unrest, which exposed loopholes in the country’s security cluster.

The Constitution requires the Chief Justice, or a judge designated by them, to preside over the election of a Speaker.
