The DA wants parliament to suspend Mkhuleko Hlengwa, chair of the standing committee on public accounts, after his heated exchange with Eskom board member Busisiwe Mavuso on Friday.

DA chief whip Natasha Mazzone has written to National Assembly speaker Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula asking for an urgent investigation into Hlengwa’s conduct and for parliament to take action against him. She wants:

the National Assembly chairperson responsible for oversight, Cedric Frolick, to investigate whether any meeting occurred between Hlengwa and any ANC member before Friday's Scopa meeting; andMazzone said Hlengwa should be suspended as Scopa chairperson until the powers & privileges committee has finalised its hearing against him. Hlengwa's ruling that Mavuso leave the Scopa meeting should be referred to the rules committee for further consideration, she said.

“It has never been the case that a board member telling the truth or speaking openly has been asked to leave, based on the fact that the Scopa chair did not like the response.

DA Mazzone must go complete school.
