NO-CONFIDENCE VOTE FALLOUT
ANC acts over boycott and ‘dissidents’
Seven ANC MPs face disciplinary action
Seven ANC MPs, some of whom support President Jacob Zuma and some of whom oppose him, are facing disciplinary action over their conduct, all linked to last week’s motion of no confidence in Parliament. The ANC defeated the motion but about 34 party MPs voted in favour of Zuma’s removal. The fallout from MPs bucking the party line continued this week. Four MPs would be referred to the ANC’s caucus disciplinary committee, party chief whip Jackson Mthembu announced on Tuesday, for their boycott of a meeting of the portfolio committee that was meant to grill Public Service and Administration Minister Faith Muthambi over allegations of nepotism and that she misspent taxpayers’ money by flying 30 family members and friends to Cape Town to attend her budget vote.
