Cape Town Parliament

South African President Cyril Ramaphosa will next month deliver the annual state-of-the-nation address from an alternative venue in Cape Town after fire gutted the city's National Assembly building, parliament announced Friday.

An unnamed 48-year-old man has been arrested on charges of theft and arson after a part of the South African Parliament building in Cape Town was gutted on Sunday.

A massive fire in South Africa's houses of parliament in Cape Town has "burned down" the entire National Assembly where parliamentarians sit, a spokesperson said on Sunday.

A major fire broke out at South Africa's seat of parliament in Cape Town early Sunday, sending a thick column of smoke into the sky and threatening the National Assembly building.

As South African President Jacob Zuma readied to deliver his keynote address to the nation on Thursday, hoards of angry residents protested outside the Parliament in Cape Town on his failure to deliver on his promises.

South African riot police clashed with protesting students outside parliament in Cape Town today, as demonstrations against rising university fees rocked campuses around the country.

Radical new South African lawmakers shook up the normally staid opening of parliament on Wednesday by turning up for the formal re-election of President Jacob Zuma in bright red overalls topped by red berets or hard hats.
