The Portfolio Committee on Transport as guided by the Rules of Parliament, promulgated by the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa conducts an oversight function over the Department of Transport and its Entities. The Committee analyses the strategic plan and budget of the Department and ensures these are aligned and prioritised in accordance to the needs of the country. Due to the tight parliamentary programme the Committee was unable to meet with the 11 public entities for transport however, in the course of the year the Committee will meet with each entity to get an update on their activities.
