 <p class="first-par">One of the most significant “events” in the post-apartheid political life of this country was the Commission of Inquiry into State Capture, chaired by (then) Deputy Chief Justice Zondo. Its findings are extensive and touch on many aspects of public life in South Africa, not least the constitutional responsibilities and duties of those who exercise public power in the national executive and legislature. Indeed, the Commission held hearings at which much evidence was presented about the constitutional duty of Parliament to hold the executive to account. The Commission concluded in its final report that Parliament had generally failed to discharge its obligations, for a multitude of reasons, and Justice Zondo recommended the implementation of a raft of measures which might remedy these shortcomings.</p>

     <p>Before the COVID-19 national State of Disaster was declared on Sunday 15 March 2020, members of the general public wishing to observe a scheduled parliamentary committee meeting could do so if they lived in Cape Town and had the means to find their way to the precinct. Non-Capetonians could do the same if they could afford the airfare or if their employer was willing to foot the bill. Whatever the case, having passed through security – and having been directed to the committee room concerned – one could usually find copies of the documents being discussed. In those days, each committee had an administrative assistant tasked with making sufficient copies to meet the needs of everyone present.</p>

     <p>Living in Cape Town within a stone’s throw of the parliamentary precinct, I took it for granted that – having attended committee meetings for many years to report on their proceedings for certain paying clients and collect the documents I needed – it was probably safe to assume I would have the privilege of doing so for as long as I chose to earn a living that way. I had never bothered myself with considering whether or not a meeting would be live-streamed.</p>
 
     <p>It was only in April 2023 (when, as a freelancer, I was expelled from Parliament’s WhatsApp group for accredited journalists) that it dawned on me how difficult accessing meetings and documents can be. Because to this day there are parliamentary committee meetings that are only Zoomed. Observing the proceedings of those virtual meetings is impossible unless one is a committee or staff member, a designated government official or a mainstream media journalist.</p>
