Parliament in partnership with the national Department of Social Development and the Nelson Mandela Children's Fund hosts the Children's Parliament under the theme, “20-Years of Democracy: Moving Madiba's Legacy Forward”. In line with the Children's Act (No.38 of 2005), the children of South Africa will have the opportunity to tell the country during the Annual Nelson Mandela Children's Parliament how they have experienced the first twenty years of freedom and in their view, what challenges still remain in the progressive realisation of their democratic rights and responsibilities. The hosting of the Children's Parliament creates a platform for children's participation in democracy and provides them an opportunity to influence policies as well as programmes and strategies intended to realise their rights.
