In what could turn into a legal precedent of titanic proportions, Bernadus Swartbooi, the leader of the Landless People's Movement, has taken on the Speaker of the National Assembly in a motion to review decisions taken by the legislative body.
The case started this morning in the High Court.
The Parliament, in collaboration with the International Parliamentary Union, is hosting a three-day workshop aimed at strengthening women's representation in leadership roles.

The National Assembly today (Wednesday) failed to carry out its daily business after there was no quorum in the house.
This was largely due to the absence of opposition party MPs, who continued to abscond from the proceedings for the second day in a row.

This follows the opposition MPs' two-day walkout in the House last week.
The National Assembly held a remembrance ceremony for the late Ignatius Shixwameni who died of a heart attack at parliament last year November.
The remembrance ceremony was also aimed at creating awareness of prevention measures and how to handle heart attacks.
