ANC MP Supra Mahumapelo says he will not abide by the ANC’s line march to reject the Section 89 report on Phala Phala when the Natioanal Assembly sits to debate and vote on it this afternoon.
Asked if he was prepared to face the consequences should he go against the party line, Mahumapelo said: “I’ve done that many times.”
“The chair made it very clear that we’re an organisation of democratic centralism, there is a decision, we may not like it, but we have to abide by the party line and that if we don’t abide by the party line you have to face the consequences.Mahumapelo said his vote would be based on ensuring accountability towards Ramaphosa.
“I’m not voting with the opposition I will never do that, but my own view is on this particular matter, we must ensure accountability, irrespective of our position in the organisation and that is how it’s going to be. “Any decision you take against the party, like it’s going to happen now, as a cadre of the movement you live with the consequences,” Mahumapelo said.
The ANC has 230 MPs in the 400-member National Assembly. A simple majority is required for the motion to pass. According to the constitution, one third MPs need to be available in the legislature for the motion to be heard and a simple majority is needed for a decision to be made.
