ANC to discipline members who voted for Zuma to go
Johnnesburg - The ANC will discipline at least three MPs who have publicly admitted that they voted in support of the motion of no confidence against President Jacob Zuma, it said on Tuesday,
The party’s National Working Committee decided at a meeting on Monday that that the MPs must face a disciplinary inquiry.
ANC secretary general Gwede Mantashe said the party would not embark on a "witch hunt" to investigate which ANC MP’s voted in support of the motion, however those who have publicly said they supported the Democratic Alliance motion will be disciplined.
"Three of them have confirmed they voted with [the] opposition we will have to deal with that situation because if we don’t we will destroy [the] essence of being an organisation," Mantashe said.
Former finance minister Pravin Gordhan, former tourism minister Derek Hanekom and senior ANC MPs Makhosi Khoza and Mondli Gungubele had publicly stated that they would vote with their conscience.
