PARLIAMENTARY NOTEBOOK: ‘Injustice is unsustainable’ – Chief Justice Mogoeng By Marianne Merten marianne_merten

sworn in on Wednesday 22 May the president can’t be elected in the National Assembly and can’t pick his Cabinet, which comes, with two exceptions, from parliamentary benches.

Mogoeng recounted how in a public interaction he was asked whether he was not ashamed to administer the oath of office to incoming public representatives with clouds over their heads. In some circles of the ANC, the argument is made that the Speaker “traditionally” is the ANC national chairperson. But there is no such tradition, and it is only a coincidence that Baleka Mbete, while she was ANC national chairperson, was Speaker. That Mbete, as one of the ANC Top Six officials, was also Speaker caused much consternation in opposition benches. Previous Speakers such as Frene Ginwala or Max Sisulu were not officials.

But the most pressing task for the governing ANC, which on the campaign trail repeatedly promised to clean up and end corruption and State Capture, is to figure out its own public representative lists. There are others such as Faith Muthambi, the former communications minister who leaked Cabinet information to the Guptas and whose conduct the 2016 parliamentary SABC inquiry sharply criticised, recommending that then-president Jacob Zuma consider her dismissal.

Of the Freedom Front Plus’s MPs, all but two are male. One of the women, Tammy Wessels, who is married to fellow MP Wouter Wessels, is apparently changing back to her maiden name of Breedt.
