Pemmy Majodina, the former Eastern Cape public works MEC, was the surprise choice by the ANC’s NEC to replace Jackson Mthembu as the leader of the party’s parliamentary caucus.

She’s loud, she’s proud and she’s the ANC’s new chief whip in Parliament.

I froze a little bit because I understand what goes with the package of being chief whip,” she told theMajodina returns to the parliamentary precinct after having served as a member of the National Council of Provinces between 1999 and 2004. She also has MEC portfolios of sport and social development under her belt.

“We must play our oversight [role] over the executive,” she says. “Parliament on its own does not deliver services, those get delivered through Cabinet. And therefore you need strong chairpersons of committees, you need strong whips who understand the manifesto of the next five years.” Majodina will have to square off with returning Democratic Alliance chief whip John Steenhuisen. He is known for his stinging heckling and sharp knowledge of parliamentary procedure.

“I’m not looking forward to the battles, I’m looking forward to engagements … When we tabled our manifestos we said we want to improve the lives of our people for the better. So we expect that maturity of engagement, not toe-to-toe immature fights. But, politics is politics.”
