Parliamentary vote on Phala Phala report postponed

The decision, at a special late-night sitting of the National Assembly Planning Committee, was ostensibly taken to satisfy a call by opposition parties to allow MPs to cast their ballots in person, rather than virtually.

“It is a highly contentious issue that requires that parliament must sit physically… and the method of voting must be the roll call,” said ATM leader Vuyo Zungula. He was persuaded otherwise by his closest allies in the party and on Monday filed an application to the constitutional court to have the panel’s report set aside.

Even if MPs hostile to Ramaphosa were to vote with the opposition to make up the simple majority required for a resolution to subject him to an impeachment inquiry, nothing could be done in parliamentary terms to take the process further until the new year.

Good idea to leave the people in the dark…and I’m not talking Eskom. 🤐

Next week njani when he has ANC to attend

He should be impeached. SA has a lot of poverty and need schools and more medical facilities. Since ANC took over, poverty took over and SA is going downhill. I live in 'pothole valley'.
