Well after being elected to the gauteng Provincial Legislature I have been in limbo. A bit of nomansland country moving from council to the legislature. That is why I was glad we had a caucus on Thursday 30 April.
at the caucus meeting we elected our new caucus management and also received information about our induction.
Unfortunately I cannot tell much about what happens in a caucus, no not because I am an irregular attendee, but because caucus meetings are usually very private meetings.
A caucus is a group of people in a legislature, parliament or council who belong to the same party - in European countries they refer to them as fractions (fraktie). The caucus meeting allows this group of people to discuss how they will vote on matters and what their strategy will be to either govern or give the governing party a hard time when they launch actions contrary to our policies.
It is very rare that you will ever read in the media about the discussions in a caucus. It is a private place for members to discuss issues openheartedly with each other.
Well hope that gave you some insight!
