The ethics committee has meted out the punishment to Peters - following a complaint more than a year ago by civil society group - Unite Behind - related to her tenure as the minister of transport.
CAPE TOWN - Deputy Minister of Small Business Development Dipuo Peters will be banned from parliamentary sittings, debates and meetings for one term.
In its complaint to Parliament’s ethics committee, Unite Behind reiterated findings of the Zondo commission of inquiry against Peters. These include not appointing a group CEO for the Passenger Rail Agency of South Affrica after a recruitment exercise that cost the company R1.7 million. Last month, she appeared before the committee saying she had never benefited personally from any of the acts she’s accused of - and that she’s never been found guilty of corruption.
