In South Africa today, no law can be passed or amended, no development can proceed, and no policy can achieve consensus without the input and participation of the South African people, CyrilRamaphosa writes in his weekly newsletter.

Twenty-eight years since the first democratic Parliament sat in Cape Town, we continue to have a Parliament that is activist, responsive and determined to make a difference in the lives of our people.

In this way, Parliament is contributing to the building of participatory democracy. Not only are citizens able to vote every five years for their representatives. They are also able to participate in the decisions that affect their lives. Public participation in our democracy is not done in a superficial manner. This is evident not only in the substance of the laws that are passed, but also in the manner that laws are considered and debated. Before any law is passed, parliamentary committees invite submissions from the public and hold hearings – often in communities – to gather people's views on the proposed legislation.In recent times, we have seen communities asserting their rights in various ways.

We are trying to move away from"parachuted" development, where projects are planned in offices hundreds of kilometres away from communities and do not take into account the particular needs of those communities.
