Democracy includes having ways to remove those we voted in, Thuli Madonsela says
The former public protector says people are lying when they say that voting by secret ballot is an infringement on democracy
Former public protector Thuli Madonsela says she believes there is a 30% chance the motion of no confidence vote against President Jacob Zuma will succeed. Madonsela‚ who was a guest speaker at a women’s business breakfast in Durban on Tuesday‚ said: "I give the success of the ballot 30% and failure 70%." Speaking at the FNB Business Women’s Breakfast‚ in association with East Coast Radio‚ Madonsela said: "There are several reasons: politically the secret ballot is a democratic process; people are lying when they say it’s an infringement of democracy. The architecture of our democracy is the entire constitution."
