Earlier Wilskut, a Patriotic Alliance (PA) MP, walked alongside her party leader Gayton McKenzie, as she took the oath with eight other legislators. Jasmine Petersen - another of the party's MPs - is 22.
Once the election of speaker and deputy speaker is completed they will participate in the election of the country's next president.
That's set to be Cyril Ramaphosa after a deal for a Government of National Unity was agreed, which the PA is also backing.
