Agang has wasted South Africa's time
03 March 2014
Through their clownish behavior today, Agang wasted Parliament and South Africa's time by withdrawing its motion of no confidence in President Jacob Zuma.
The motion of no confidence should have gone ahead, giving Parliament an opportunity to reflect on the fitness for office of the President, and the impact of his Presidency on society.
It seems that Agang have been co-opted by the President and have betrayed their voters in the process.
Their decision comes at a time when pressing issues, like the economy and unemployment are at crisis levels, and the country's constitutional democracy is being threatened.
