EFF defends motion to remove National Assembly speaker

The Economic Freedom Fighters has defended its decision to file a motion seeking the removal of National Assembly Speaker Thoko Didiza over her handling of the Phala Phala impeachment proceedings against President Cyril Ramaphosa. The party argues that Didiza failed to fulfil her constitutional obligations by filing a notice to abide instead of opposing Ramaphosa’s court application to review the Section 89 panel report. Meanwhile, impeachment committee chairperson Makashule Gana has filed an opposing affidavit challenging the president’s application. EFF treasurer-general Omphile Maotwe outlines the party’s position. Follow us on our new Facebook page: https://tinyurl.com/2p9m6y52 #Newzroom405 Tune into Newzroom Afrika DStv channel 405 for more.
