Cabinet approves bill to pave way for independent candidates to contest for seats in parliament

Mapisa-Nqakula and other MPs' concern was that parliament might miss the June 2022 deadline set by the ConCourt to amend the law to allow for independent candidates to stand.

“I've decided that I will write a letter to the leader of government business to request him to urge the minister of home affairs to speed up the process so that it goes to cabinet and finally to parliament. That's a process I have seriously considered,She was speaking after a meeting of parliament's programming committee last week.

“Cabinet approved that the report of the ministerial advisory committee on electoral systems reforms be submitted to parliament,” said Gungubele. “The electoral system reforms were initiated after the Constitutional Court judgment declared, in 2020, that the Electoral Act of 1998 was unconstitutional as it only provided for the election of members of the National Assembly and provincial legislatures to be done through political parties.

“The ministerial advice committee report presents policy options that can remedy the unconstitutional aspects of the Electoral Act.”

Why don't they say they are paving way for Motsepe..
