The EFF claims that the ANC is intentionally holding back its list of parliamentary nominees to shield President Cyril Ramaphosa from being held accountable over the Phala Phala farm scandal.
The EFF has accused the ANC of deliberately obstructing the parliamentary process to shield President Cyril Ramaphosa from impeachment, following reports that the party missed the deadline to submit names of members who will serve on the impeachment committee due to internal factional disputes.
This is after Sunday reports that ANC Chief Whip Mdumiseni Ntuli and Secretary-General Fikile Mbalula clashed over party representation on the committee.
However, the EFF dismissed this narrative as a “dishonest political smokescreen designed to conceal the ANC’s intentional obstruction of Parliament’s constitutional obligations".
“The real issue is not ANC infighting. The real issue is that the ANC is refusing to deploy members to the impeachment committee because it seeks to delay and frustrate the work of the committee itself,” said spokesperson Sinawo Thambo.
