National Council of Provinces
National Council of Provinces stands in Cape Town as the upper house of South Africa’s Parliament. It represents South Africa’s nine provinces at national level. Established in 1997, it followed the adoption of a new Constitution in 1996. It replaced the Senate, which had served as the upper house since 1994.
Each province appoints ten delegates, giving every province equal representation regardless of size. Each provincial delegation includes six permanent delegates and four special delegates. The provincial premier leads each delegation, while special delegates can rotate according to provincial needs. Ten non-voting representatives from the nine provincial local government associations also contribute to its work. The council considers, rejects, or proposes changes to national laws, keeping provincial interests within the legislative process.
