Dear Honourable Speaker and Members of Parliament,

As one of over 700 citizens who submitted letters on 18–20 July 2025 regarding executive overreach, I thank Parliament for its robust oversight, including The Ad Hoc Committee to Investigate Allegations by Lieutenant General Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi and the Appropriations Committee’s review of National Dialogue funding.

While I received no formal acknowledgment, I view these actions as even stronger recognition of my constitutional concerns.

I am also one of over 650 citizens who submitted the “Constitutional Public Submission – GNU Executive Composition” (15–31 August 2025) to speaker@parliament.gov.za, addressing the issue of disproportionate Cabinet representation.

The full submission was available here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1n43eMi7mlIkhyA1B5RlYtitYRIibOUlx?usp=sharing

For administrative ease, kindly confirm receipt to concernedcitizen27041994@gmail.com.

A detailed thank-you letter is available here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1h_6rjUQzMzw4ULvFrozuasGy5YqOFCXS?usp=sharing

I urge Parliament to sustain its accountability efforts, particularly on GNU proportionality. I stand with you under Section 42(3) of the Constitution in upholding government by the people.

We respectfully await your office's confirmation and look forward to Parliament's formal response to the substantive requests outlined in our detailed submission.

Yours faithfully,

[Full Name]

[Ward/Town/Province]

[Date]

STEP 4: Personalise

✅ Write the second last paragraph (just after the link) in your own words ***as suggested***

(Don't get emotional or "creative," for maximum credibility. If you're not polite, you sabotage your email, and possibly the rest of us.)

As a [student/parent/worker/small business owner/resident of …], this concerns me because [e.g., I voted expecting proportional representation under Clause 16; unbalanced power affects job opportunities and investment; Parliament must ensure government by the people under Section 42(3)]

✅ Add your details at the bottom, after "Yours faithfully,".

✅ It's also better to send from your personal email address.
