And it’s in the engine room of parliament, where the real work will be done, according to the Parliamentary Monitoring Group . The organisation noted effective leadership was “critical” for the way the committee conducted its business and for ensuring there was a much-needed will to get things done. “Supra Mahumapelo, a Gupta acolyte who was basically chased out of the North West province, has now been earmarked for the tourism committee. Faith Muthambi, who helped to run the SABC into the ground is about to be put in charge of oversight over municipalities,” Steenhuisen said.
