ANC disrupts WC Legislature sitting, prevents it from exercising its mandate

10 November 2022

Note to Editors: Kindly find soundbite here

Today, the ANC members of the Western Cape Provincial Legislature sought to disrupt proceedings and prevent this august house from exercising its mandate.

The most important functions of the provincial legislature are to ensure that due process are upheld, relevant legislation are created and that questions asked on behalf of the people of the Western Cape are answered.

It is therefore unacceptable that the business of the house is disrupted in the manner it was today.

We make a serious call on the leaders of opposition parties within the legislature to call their members to order.
