Watch South Africa's Parliament Live: Parliament TV and Debates
This player shows the Parliament of the Republic of South Africa YouTube channel when it is live. If nothing is streaming, it may say the video is unavailable, so use the official link below.
What Is This Feed?
South Africa's Parliament has two houses in Cape Town: the National Assembly and the National Council of Provinces. Parliament TV and an official YouTube channel stream sittings and committee meetings.
When Can I Watch?
Parliament usually opens early in the year with the State of the Nation Address, in February. Sittings continue in several terms through the year, with constituency periods between them. Schedules change, so confirm on the official site.
Why This Feed Matters?
South Africa's democracy was built after apartheid, and its constitution protects public access to Parliament. Its Constitutional Court has even insisted on public participation, which makes this feed more than a convenience.
