The MK party had boycotted the first sitting of the 7th Parliament two weeks ago, over their claims that the elections were rigged.
MK party members who have been sworn in include former public protector Busisiwe Mkhwebane's husband, David Skhosana, Black First Land First (BLF) leader and founder, Andile Mngxitama and impeached former Western Cape Judge President John Hlophe, who is expected to lead the party in Parliament.
