'I won't allow ANC MPs to be lameducks,' warns party chief whip Pemmy Majodina.

ANC chief whip Pemmy Majodina during the party's first caucus meeting in Cape Town on May 21 2019.New ANC chief whip Pemmy Majodina has vowed to crack the whip to make sure the majority party's caucus conducts robust oversight on the executive and does so diligently and intelligently.

She addressed parliamentary journalists following the party's first caucus meeting on Tuesday where ANC secretary-general Ace Magashule introduced her to MPs as their new boss. Majodina, who is new to the national legislature, said her main objective was to make sure that ANC MPs do not become lame ducks but conduct robust oversight on the executive without creating tensions.

"As the ANC caucus we are going to unpack the manifesto of the ANC in terms of the implementation plan and time frames. We are going to make sure that members of the ANC rise to the occasion and they rise to the mandate that the ANC has given them to be here," she said. Majodina said the ANC caucus will play its oversight role robustly, faster and smarter because"our people are waiting for us to be there, to give them services and to build social cohesion as well as social contract with them".

This was a bad appointment. Lack of maturity is evident.

So she knows they're lame ducks....

EFF is coming with increased numbers and there is going to be a vibe.

She just needs not shout like a tent preacher at these salvation gospel churches, it's parliament.

May your MPs serve the people & uphold their constitutional promise to the nation without any selective sifting👼Millions are counting on them and paying them to have this honorary post🙏May they remember who they serve without fear or favour🙋🏾walk safe and free of past ills❤️
