This is according to at least three senior MPs who spoke to TimesLIVE about discussions at a meeting of the ANC parliamentary caucus on Tuesday morning.
The National Assembly is due to debate the report of the section 89 panel of experts that found that President Cyril Ramaphosa may have an impeachable case to answer over the theft of millions of rand at his Phala Phala farm. Should the report be adopted, the National Assembly will immediately institute a committee to lead impeachment proceedings against the president.
At the caucus meeting, the ANC MPs were briefed by the party’s national chairperson Gwede Mantashe, chief whip Pemmy Majodina and ANC caucus chairperson Seiso Mohai. “The chairperson was very clear, he simply reaffirmed the decision of the national executive committee that we have to vote against the panel’s report,” said one person who was at the meeting.
