Chief Justice Mogoeng Mogoeng has urged prospective MPs and members of the provincial legislatures not to betray the people of South Africa.
In total, 830 names were put forward and handed to Mogoeng on Wednesday – 400 for the National Assembly and 430 for the provincial legislatures. He encouraged all those going to Parliament not to betray the Constitution as the people of South Africa depended on Parliament and the provincial legislatures to work in their best interests – and to resolve major historical challenges that had yet to be addressed.We have been here for 25 years and the people of South Africa have spoken. They have elected those who they have confidence in not to betray the Constitution of South Africa, its spirit, its object and its purpose,” Mogoeng said.
The chief justice said that he had been asked whether he felt ashamed about the prospect of affirming some of the selected MPs into Parliament – and admitted that it was a difficult question to answer.
Are we seriously asking the ANC to act honorably ?

While DA leader Mmusi Maimane wrote to members that he accepted personal responsibility for the poll results, DA federal chairperson Athol Trollip publicly talked about collective responsibility.

2019 ELECTIONS AFTERMATH: The world dissects South Africa’s latest electoral foray, but not entirely accuratelyThe just-completed South African election proved a challenge for foreign reporting as the question at hand was not really about who was going to win. Accordingly, foreign journalists often fell back on the old standbys of describing this starkly divided society, a tale of two cities, but on a national scale. Once the results were in, what those results mean for the future now becomes the next challenge for observers – just as it is for every South African, including its president.
