Former transport minister Dipuo Peters has confirmed to Business Day that she has resigned as an MP less than a week after she was moved from her department. The former minister, whose illustrious run of service in legislatures and Parliament runs almost as far back as SA’s democracy, told BDlive that she made the decision to quit following persistent health concerns. "Yes, I have resigned as an MP. I submitted a letter of resignation to the president the chief whip and the national ANC. I had to inform them. I gave the ANC leadership the reasons to withdraw from Parliament," said Peters.
