This article lists the members of the National Assembly of South Africa during the 22nd South African Parliament, which sat between 1994 and 1999. Members were elected during the elections of 27 April 1994, South Africa's first under universal suffrage, and served until the elections of 2 June 1999. The African National Congress (ANC) won a comfortable majority of 252 seats in the 400-seat legislature. The former governing party, the National Party (NP), became the official opposition.[1]
Nelson Mandela was elected unanimously as President of South Africa during the assembly's first sitting on 9 May 1994, which also saw members sworn in to their seats and Frene Ginwala elected as the inaugural Speaker of the National Assembly.[2] As required by the interim Constitution, the ANC formed a Government of National Unity under President Mandela.
On 24 May 1994, the first session of the Constitutional Assembly was held, comprising the joint membership of the National Assembly and the Senate.[3] The Constitutional Assembly, chaired by Cyril Ramaphosa of the National Assembly, adopted South Africa's post-apartheid Constitution on 8 May 1996.[4]
