South Africa: 'Kandlagate': Speaker Must Grant Debate of Public Importance If ANC Blocks Motion

press release

The Speaker of the National Assembly, Max Sisulu, referred the DA's motion for debate on the R206 million upgrade of President Zuma's Nkandla home back to the Chief Whip's Forum at today's National Assembly Programming Committee, as no agreement could be reached.

The DA will stand firm on this matter. We have been allocated the space in the parliamentary schedule to have a DA motion debated, and it cannot be up to the ANC to decide on our behalf what to debate.
