<h3>What is the ruling body of South Africa?</h3>

I need to know the "ruling body" of South Africa. Also, would someone clarify what a ruling body is. I thought that it was like Congress, but I could be wrong. Thank you for your help!


<strong>South Africa best answer:</strong>
<p><i>Answer by Charlie</i><br/>A ruling body is the group ( usually elected) that makes the laws to rule a country. See 1st site below. in South Africa, the ruling body is the Parliament, which has 2 houses. See 2nd site and read section on Government and Politics.</p>
