On Tuesday a mini debate will be held on whether to establish an ad hoc committee to probe what transpired on the president's farm in 2020.
CAPE TOWN - The Phala Phala farm saga is set to dominate the week in Parliament again before the house breaks for the third term recess.
President Cyril Ramaphosa is also expected back in the house on Thursday, to finish answering questions on the matter. Last week, the African National Congress stalled the Democratic Alliances' debate at the eleventh hour, on a motion for a special parliamentary committee to investigate the Phala Phala farm burglary.Last week, Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula said she was cautious to allow the debate to proceed, fearing it would seek to duplicate the work of a section 89 panel, which will independently assess prima facie evidence for an impeachment inquiry.
