News analysisEFF leader Julius Malema says he will soon put a draft law before Parliament to move Parliament to Tshwane. In Cape Town, "Parliament is located in the farthest province from the majority of provinces, making it inaccessible to the majority of South Africans", Malema argues. The geographic centre point of South Africa is in the rural Free State, making the town of Petrusburg perhaps the fairest seat for the legislature. For maximum pure geographic equality, the small town of Petrusburg in the Free State may have the best claim to Parliament. Draw a line between the three biggest population centres (north Gauteng, Cape Town, and Durban), and you end up closer to Free State town on the other side of Bloemfontein, Excelsior.
