There’s a New Chief Whip in Parliament

Statement by George Michalakis MP – DA Parliamentary Leader:

I am pleased to announce the appointment of Adv Glynnis Breytenbach as the Democratic Alliance’s new Chief Whip in the National Assembly.

Breytenbach brings 12 years of experience in Parliament and decades before that as senior state prosecutor, to this position. She will be the custodian of Parliament’s rules and procedures on the part of the DA. She will also, alongside myself, be the party’s chief negotiator within the GNU in Parliament.

Furthermore, she has served for her entire tenure in Parliament as the DA’s spokesperson on justice. During ten of those years, I was her DA counterpart in the National Council of Provinces (NCOP). Through this, the DA is sending a clear message that safety and security is a top priority for us in Parliament, in line with the Federal Leader, Geordin Hill-Lewis’ vision.

Breytenbach will also, alongside Deputy Chief Whip Bax Nodada, be responsible for 13 NA whips, 87 NA members, and 12 NCOP members and I have no doubt that they will make a formidable team.

I am joined by the entire caucus in wishing Breytenbach success in this new position.
