04 January 2024 - NW3844
Bond, Mr M to ask the Minister in The Presidency for Women, Youth and Persons with Disabilities
What are the reasons that the Commission for Gender Equality is slow to address the audit (a) findings and (b) action plan?
Reply:
The Commission for Gender Equality (CGE) is a Chapter 9 Institution that is accountable directly to Parliament in terms of Section 181(5) of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa (Act 108 of 1996) which states that "These institutions are accountable to the National Assembly, and must report on their activities and the performance of their functions to the Assembly at least once a year". Consequently, the question may be re-directed to the CGE for reply.
