DA welcomes Parliament’s about-turn on Zondo Commission report following pressure
17 May 2022
Note to Editors: Please find an attached soundbite by Siviwe Gwarube MP
The DA has noted the Speaker of the National Assembly, Nosiviwe Mapisa- Nqakula’s about- turn on the process which should be followed in dealing with the findings of the Zondo Commission Report in Parliament.
This u-turn is the result of unrelenting pressure from the Democratic Alliance (DA) for Parliament to begin its work of processing the various volumes of the Zondo Commission report, especially the aspects which deal with sitting members of Parliament and the institution’s failure to exercise oversight over the Executive during State Capture.
The DA managed to obtain a legal opinion which was sent to the Speaker almost two months ago confirming that Parliament is empowered to and should begin the work of processing the Zondo Commission report.
