Ramaphosa has signed off on the National Veld and Forest Fire Amendment Bill, the Agricultural Product Standards Amendment Bill, 2023 and the Correctional Services Amendment Act.
Despite signing the Bills, the President still has 23 Bills on his desk waiting to be signed, which have passed through the National Assembly and National Council of Provinces.
This includes the controversial National Health Insurance (NHI) Bill and the Electoral Matters Amendment Bill, both of which have faced massive backlash from businesses and political parties.
With Parliament still rushing through multiple bills ahead of the 29 May election, the President will likely have more on his desk by the end of term.
