ANC abstention not an objection to Madonsela: Mbalula
Mablula says Advocate Thandazani Madonsela was briefed to provide legal advice to the ANC.
The African National Congress (ANC) has decided not to vote for Advocate Thandazani Madonsela as the evidence leader of the Impeachment Committee. This abstention is not an objection, rather a formal disclosure to the National Assembly Speaker Thoko Didiza. Madonsela was previously briefed to provide legal advice to the ANC on Section 89 parliamentary rules and processes.
The Democratic Alliance (PA) and Al Jamah also abstained from voting. Speaker Didiza has acknowledged the communication from the ANC Secretary-General Fikile Mbalula, stating it is to place the information on record before the process is concluded.
