CAPE TOWN - The restoration of parliament is scheduled to start in the next few weeks.
The National Assembly was damaged by a fire in January two years ago.
Offices and the gymnasium in the old National Assembly building were completely destroyed. The Hawks have been looking into the circumstances around the blaze.
It took 3 days and over 300 firefighters to extinguish the fire.
Arson-accused Zandile Mafe has been declared a state patient after he was found unfit to stand trial.
So far, a total of one hundred and 55 offices have been completed and a temporary roof has been installed.
Parliament says this reconstruction presents an unparalleled opportunity to design spaces tailored to a democratic parliament's needs and to modernise its digital infrastructure.
