Makgoba also strongly criticised the performance of Parliament and said it had failed to hold the executive to account. “But we cannot say that Parliament has fulfilled its oversight obligations in the way we would expect in a healthy democracy.” Makgoba said the people should approach the elections on May 8 with the aim of transforming the institution.
