Phala Phala Debate | MPs vote on the Section 89 panel report


Minister of Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs, Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma, has voted in favour of the establishment of an impeachment committee. Voting in the National Assembly was done manually after MPs debated whether to adopt the Section 89 panel report, which found that President Cyril Ramaphosa may have a case to answer after the foreign currency was stolen from his Phala Phala farm two years ago. Dlamini-Zuma broke ranks and ignored party voting instructions. She was followed by Supra Mahumapelo, Mervyn Dirks and Mosebenzi Zwane, while Minister Lindiwe Sisulu left the chamber during the voting time and hence did not vote. Tandi Mahambehlala changed her vote to No, saying her first vote was incorrectly captured.

Long debates like this take me back to when public discussions felt slower and more deliberate. Quietly admire seeing people stand by their convictions in moments that matter.
