Parliament baulks at R39m estimate to furnish dome
Cape Argus
|August 04, 2025
THE Department of Public Works and Infrastructure (DPWI) has requested more time to finalise the designs for the internal fittings of the dome that is used as an alternative venue for the sitting of Parliament.
The department and Parliament officials met last month to review the scope and cost of the fittings.
“The review includes omission of three committee rooms with their fittings, omission of the suspended ceilings, reduction of dry walling and the raised floor area among other things,” reads the report containing responses prepared for the Joint Standing Committee on Financial Management of Parliament.
The dome, erected earlier this year, has not been in use since May to allow installation of internal fittings that are scheduled to be completed next month.
The department has estimated the scope and specifications for the internal fit-out of the dome at R39 822 957.
The dome is in a parking lot across Parliament on the corner of Roeland and Plein Streets in Cape Town.
