Just this week the Senate voted on a major infrastructure bill aimed at improving transport links across Gauteng. Lawmakers argued over funding levels, but the final package passed with a narrow majority. Analysts say the new routes could cut commute times by up to 15 minutes for thousands of residents.
Another hot topic is the recent amendment to the education act. The Senate introduced provisions that would give schools more flexibility in curriculum design. Critics worry it might widen gaps between urban and rural areas, while supporters argue it will let teachers tailor lessons to local needs.
In a surprise move, a cross‑party committee was formed to look into renewable energy incentives. Members from different sides are sharing data on solar projects that have already lowered electricity costs in several municipalities. The discussion is still early, but the momentum shows how the Senate can push green policies forward.
