Badrishdddaya:
The poverty rate in south Africa is higher than that of Nigeria, I no you will not agree, an average south African does not have anything to fall on after loosing their job's and all that!
No business idea
No farming idea
Not like any average Nigerian.
But if we mistakenly try this in Nigeria the entire oppition will masturbate the entire year, gullibles will set the entire internet on fire,
Enemies of Good projects will be crying foul, stop bringing politics into every Good project that will develop the country we no there is poverty, it's all over the world, though we not justifying some Government shit

Now you see that the entire project would cost about $170 million Dollars,If it is Nigeria it will cost of $500 mILLION DOLLARS because of coruptn
3B SA Rand is approximately 231billion naira. Y"all will still complain if Nigeria Gov't should budget 100 billion naira for the renovation/rebuilding of the National Assembly Complex but now that it is South Africa you guys are hailing them.

We knew our leaders are thieves but it's so crazy how we rate other countries above our own.

All politicians are the same, they work for their own pockets

The Secretary to the Parliament of South Africa has presented the latest update on the rebuilding of parliament – which has ballooned into a 3-billion rand project ($170 million).

The oft-delayed repairs and upgrades to the Old Assembly and National Assembly buildings in Cape Town are being done after they were gutted by a fire in January 2022.

The National Assembly will be demolished and replaced with a biophilic structure (mimicking nature) – in this case, resembling a protea, South Africa’s national flower and symbol of parliament, as well as having a design conceptualised around ‘sitting under a yellowwood tree’.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-wfQlKYLHDc?si=dooMlk-WW1ZpslpO

While R2 billion was initially projected to be the cost of the repairs and upgrades, this has been revised upwards slightly to R2.1 billion.

The re-do will also encompass the replacement of ICT infrastructure and an overall modernisation of the facilities which will cost a further R943 million.

This brings the total up to R3 billion – with the additional budget for the ICT infrastructure.

Timelines for the project have again been revised, with the final handover and completion moving from December 2025 to 20 April 2026. The final account and closeout is now expected in July 2026 (previously February 2026).

Demolition of the old parliament was previously expected to commence from April 2024 with construction starting in May – but this has also been pushed back, to July and August 2024, respectively.

As part of the update, parliament has also launched a new website to track the process, as well as a WhatsApp chatbot where South Africans can “have their say” on the project.

Parliament also presented a virtual tour of the build, along with other concept and design images.

It looks intelligent and smart for a serious nation unlike Nigeria National assembly complex that looks like a mosque

Africa and misplaced priorities.
What's "misplaced" with renovating a burnt parliament?

You can't blame them.
Their colonisers (white men) are still living there and they can't get them to leave.
When you Nigerian, go there and be succeeding without being angry at their white men with them,
they just get pissed off at you and beat you up.
Go to your country and leave them and their problem alone.
And lets ignore the fact Nigerians tend to be problematic wherever they go right? right!

The Nigerian language is " investigations are on going, we are ontop of the matter "

Not only that. “Oga at the top” is still deliberating. He probably has the budget deposited in a fixed deposit bank account and reaping the interest.

The bolded about the only things that made sense.I mean all of you need to leave us the Bleep alone and let us South Africans deal with our issues.

We don't need nigerians to "get angry at white people with us".They got tribal and religious genocides going on in their country.And that's their fish to fry and we don't need help frying ours.

I see posters are mainly pleased and celebratory over this creative South Africa new parliament. But this is the odd thing about Niraland, people are usually only happy when developments occur in other Africa nations. They are usually very unhappy about developments taking place in Nigeria, which begs the question are these Niralanders really Nigerians?
