It’s taken four months for Parliament to establish six joint committees largely over disagreement between the ANC and DA as to how the chairpersonships should be split.
CAPE TOWN - While the executive insists the Government of National Unity is working well, in Parliament the willingness to make concessions to share positions of power is not quite there.
This after ANC members snubbed DA nominations last week to co-chair joint parliamentary committees, against a written agreement to share the positions. But in both instances - chairpersons were elected from the ANC only - with its members snubbing nominations from the DA."There’re many instances in politics where mischievous people will nominate someone who shouldn’t be nominated to a position just to see how the chips fall, but there should be sufficient discipline that when people are nominated when they are not supposed to be nominated, that they should actually decline that nomination.
