If you could tell every South African one thing about the work your Committee does, what would it be?
The Select Committee on Public Petitions and Executive Undertakings is one of the most direct ways for ordinary South African voices to reach Parliament and as the Chair put it “plea Parliament”.
Know your tools.
Use them.
