Article title[edit]

Does this article actually need to be entitled "Offical Opposition Shadow Cabinet (South Africa)"? Wouldn't a title like "Shadow Cabinet (South Africa)" be sufficient? I mean, isn't the shadow cabinet by definition organised by the official opposition? - htonl (talk) 19:24, 17 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm, OK, I see that according to Shadow Cabinet, Canada, for example, has three Shadow Cabinets. So I guess the title is appropriate. Never mind then. - htonl (talk) 19:27, 17 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Should all these MPs have pages?[edit]

I notice while editing the bios the large proportion of DA Members of Parliament that have their own wikipedia pages. Compare this with ANC MP:s, where usually only noteworthy or or more well-known people (such as ministers) get their own pages.

I think only the most prominent DA caucus members should have their own pages, and the rest of them could be deleted and content moved to a joint page titled "Democratic Alliance Members of Parliament" or some such. -- Darthdyas (talk) 19:48, 30 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Is the official opposition official?[edit]

The DA calls themselves "the official opposition", but is there, officially, such a designation in South Africa? It's not mentioned in the constitution, for example. Is it mentioned in the rules of Parliament, perhaps? --Taejo|대조 12:31, 17 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

See s57(2)(d) of the Constitution that designates the Leader of the largest opposition party as the Leader of the Opposition (in totality), this is confirmed by National Assembly Rule 21. MariusMR (talk) 08:29, 6 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
