South African National Assembly Speaker Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula is concerned about the possibility of a national security attack after a fire gutted the country’s parliament on Sunday morning.
No person has been confirmed injured from the fire, which now threatens the hosting of upcoming key events, including the State of Nation Address by President Cyril Ramaphosa and the budget presentation by the finance minister.
