‘When someone votes with the opposition parties‚ it’s a constitutional matter’, says ANC
ANC treasurer-general Zweli Mkhize has called for MPs who voted with opposition parties in favour of a motion of no confidence in President Jacob Zuma to face a party disciplinary hearing. Speaking on the sidelines of the Progressive Business Forum "Women in Business" lunch at Gallagher Convention Centre in Midrand on Thursday‚ Mkhize said nobody in the ANC was above the party. "I am not aware of anybody being charged‚ but there are issues that are raised and discussed and others are saying these issues may need to ensure that people get charged," Mkhize said. About 30 ANC MPs voted with the opposition in a secret ballot in Parliament on August 8 to remove Zuma.
