. The Committee intends holding a seminar where all provincial legislatures working with the procedures and processes pertaining to public petitions to look at all the various pieces of petitions legislation. A seminar is necessitated by the need to incorporate which approach works best in promulgating a national guiding Act versus policy and procedural guidelines on petitions as is currently utilised by national parliament in this regard. . The Committee will embark upon international study tours in identifying best practice petitions principles and procedures which will uniform the process nationally for provincial legislatures. . All stakeholders should hereby have an opportunity to inform the process of the handling of petitions mindful of individual province successes and challenges, as opposed to passing national legislation informing the petitions process without having consultatively engaged existing petitions officials within the legislatures provincially. . The above recommendations are to be effect with due process using the promulgation of the envisaged national petitions act to cater to the South African population gaining confidence in public representatives and Parliament as an institution for people. . The envisaged national petitions act will then act as a direct public participation tool for the public and serve as an alternative means of having their issues heard in a non-violent manner that seeks to uphold the constitutional right to petition Parliament when all other remedies of resolving grievances have been exhausted at municipal and legislative level.
