Advocate Glynnis Breytenbach is the Democratic Alliance’s (DA’s) new Chief Whip in Parliament, taking over from George Michalakis, who is now the DA’s Parliamentary Leader.
Michalakis announced Breytenbach’s appointment on Monday, noting her 12-year role as the party’s spokesperson on justice.
“During ten of those years, I was her DA counterpart in the National Council of Provinces. Through this, the DA is sending a clear message that safety and security is a top priority for us in Parliament, in line with the Federal Leader, Geordin Hill-Lewis’ vision… She will be the custodian of Parliament’s rules and procedures on the part of the DA. She will also, alongside myself, be the party’s chief negotiator within the [Government of National Unity] in Parliament,” Michalakis said.
Breytenbach will oversee the DA’s 13 National Assembly whips, 87 National Assembly members, and 12 National Council of Provinces members, alongside her deputy Chief Whip Bax Nodada.
