Officials give timelines for restorations on Parliament after fire

Parliament says it will take another 24 months for the National Assembly building to be restored to its former glory.

Secretary Xolile George says this will be done through partnerships with several stakeholders.

Work is yet to get underway to repair the structure damaged by a fire that broke out in January last year that raged for at least three days.

Offices and the gymnasium in the old National Assembly building were completely destroyed.

“We envisage that the project will be completed within 24 months and allow for a further six-month period,” George said.

“Given the extensive nature of the damage it was envisaged that anywhere between 42 and 48 months to do this work.

“But we are pleased that in our discussion with the DBSA and taken into account their own technical capability, they’ve given us assurance that the project can be executed within 24 months.”
