Twenty MPs face sanction after storming the podium in July last year to try to block Pravin Gordhan from delivering his budget vote address at a mini-plenary venue

CAPE TOWN - Parliament on Tuesday started a disciplinary process against Economic Freedom Fighters Members of Parliament who disrupted Public Enterprises Minister Pravin Gordhan’s 2019 budget vote speech.

On Tuesday, the matter was finally before Parliament’s powers and privileges committee after parliament received legal opinion on the matter in September. The meeting was addressed by the initiator who lead Parliament’s case, but the 20 accused MPs did not appear. “There was no deliberation. Why are we postponing? What are the circumstances, and all those things? Now we hear that there has been a plethora of correspondence that’s been happening on our behalf. No, no, no. That’s not fair.”
