Parliament’s debate on the section 89 Phala Phala panel's report has been postponed to December 13 to prepare for a proper, physical sitting of the house.
This was announced by ANC deputy chief whip Doris Dlakude during a meeting of the National Assembly programming committee on Monday night.
EFF chief whip Floyd Shivambu earlier expressed “serious dissatisfaction” with speaker Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula's rejection of the EFF’s request to convene a physical sitting for the debate. He said this denied the MPs their constitutional right and permission to exercise their own conscience. Considering the gravity of the question MPs are going to be considering on Tuesday, the length of the voting time should not deter parliament from doing “what is right”.
