ANC removes errant MPs; Nkosazana Dlamini Zuma expected to face disciplinary charges

Democracy... as taught by the ANC's tyrannical Soviet education.

Way, way, too little too late. In any event, the most rotten apple - Ramaphosa - is still hanging from the tree. He needs to be cut down and removed.

Lose the losers. Vote DA.

It is very clear what is happening here. Correct me of f I’m wrong…slowly, but surely the Zuma-era supporters and beneficiaries are being removed. Not necessarily a detrimental motion, however it will not solve the economic flux, rampant unemployment, deteriorating infrastructures, misguided racism and escalating crime. Fact remains: the Ayencee must go.

Amazing stuff! These clowns in the NEC watch all this stuff, sit on their hands, do nothing and then....an epiphany. Let's get rid of poor performing MP's. No doubt a round of back slapping singing the mantra "we are cleansing the ANC". Is there ever any discussion on underperforming "Ministers"; most of whom should have been fired a long time ago. Nope! It's a tight little club with only its interests uppermost in mind.

“Towed”

Interesting to see the ANC acting against members who don't toe the party line, whilst at the same time completely failing to act against corruption, incompetence, criminality and more amongst members who do toe the party line. As seen so often before, to the ANC the party is way, way more important than the nation, the economy, service delivery, education, health services, community safety, or anything else outside of the party.

A journey of 1000 kms begins with a first step, however tentative.

But she was brain dead

But all the Zondo commission implicated ones still remain (probably get a raise too)... As long as they cover the "new dawn"

Structure without discipline it isn't well run

Facts about the ANC ministers. They are thieves. They are morally at fault when they failed to improve the education of disadvantaged children. Their police force is corrupt and they will not fix it. They cannot maintain law and order. They have mismanaged the country to the point where it cannot function. The medical treatments for the poorer sector is a nightmare. The list goes on and on. Just in case anyone is not sure about whether they should be voted out , the above are absolute facts, and in fact enough reason to put most of them in jail.

Why bother to have MP's in parliament at all if they have to follow party lines like sheep and are not allowed to use their own minds. Might as well have a block vote as per the numbers of ANC representatives. Not a democratic institution at all.

A non event but you have to start somewhere. Be interesting to see what "Disciplinary Process" turns out to be ...... they should be kicked out because they are useless, not because they did not tow the line.

I agree with you Peter!!

She's long overdue

If I was more cynical I would have said there might be an election around the corner.

April fools is on the 1st of April - your joke is either very late, or very early ...

I was impressed that NDZ had the guts to vote against the party line. Why bother with voting if there is only one answer demanded.

So they are being punished for not letting Ramaphosa escape his Phalaphala crime. This can only happen in Jebs? So what is the party line??? State capture by Guptas? Doing Phalaphala?? This is upside down. In fact those that voted against impeachment must be punished for abetting theft and impropriety. KKK so much corruption!!

Well that should make for an interesting start to (ex president)Zuma's heading up the ANC campaign in KZN. Can't wait to see the outcome of that. It's tough when the party line is "toe the line or else". Not that it makes much difference, they're all corrupt to the core, totally incompetent and would be entertaining if it were not for the almost irreparable damage they do to our country. I do say "our" country with slight tongue in cheek. Some of "our" people ceased to be relevant some decades back.

Too little, too late.

Let's see if they join the EFF immediately after being expelled. The ANC and EFF are the parties that call thieves "honourable members" - I see a coalition coming.

I thought that Headline was a very late April Fool's joke! I can't believe my eyes!

I assume that they are being paid a nice salary. Our tax money, struggling economy, fuel increases,load shedding and the list goes on. Might be a good time to remember some of the statements made by the late great Nelson Mandela. Take heed elections are coming up. Is this another voting ploy. We need God's intervention in government. Everyone is being distracted from God. Every prayer seem nominal there is more glits and glamour and mud slinging. Trust God first.

Nkosazana - oh dear! Why didn't you offer the comrades a bigger slice of that cigarette business? You seem to have kept too much of it for yourself, now you are facing possible disciplinary action. I wonder if they have anyone particular in mind to be an ace cigarette smuggler going forward?

No, Mr Mbalula I think it is much too little too late. I wonder if you are trying to appease possible voters.

Geoff Krieg makes a most valid point.. Why not get rid of the state captures?... Because they DO toe the line... Nauseating....

Mr Mbalula do tell what will her punishment be - I imagine a whole week's pay or heaven forbid 2 week's or a whole month but all other benefits intact. Cry our beloved country.

Dhlamini Zuma should have fired in the 90s after her mishandling of HIV/AIDS. Loyalty is clearly more important than competence or ethics.

Nkosazama Dlamini Zuma behaves like an untouchable in the ANC. I wonder why gogo NDZ does not resign because she no longer adds any value both to the ANC and the government.

Who the ANC chooses to discipline has nothing to do with anyone who is not an ANC member. Having said that, as an outsider, my perception is that members themselves don't take the Committee itself particularly seriously. If the ANC wants rid of - I dunno - Carl Niehaus, then the findings of the Committee are used to justify that decision. However, if your name is Jacob Zuma the Committee's findings can seemingly be ignored. Using the Niehaus / Zuma examples how does the one suffer excommunication & the other get (quite literaly) a 'get out of gaol free' card? I mean, JZ literally laid 'make believe charges' against the President of the ANC & it's not an issue or concern for the ANC or its Integrity Commission! Why not?
