ANC Deputy Chief Whip Doris Dlakude leads the governing party contingent, including three committee chairpersons, on the inquiry into the possible impeachment of Public Protector Busisiwe Mkhwebane.
Others for the ANC on that unprecedented inquiry that the House had approved to go ahead on 16 March are police committee chairperson Tina Joemat-Pettersson, social development committee chairperson Mondli Gungubele and ethics committee co-chairperson Bekizwe Nkosi.
ANC MPs Judy Hermans and Richard Dyantyi, who regularly presides over mini-plenaries, make up the voting members, alongside alternates Teiliswa Mgweba and Philly Mapulane, the higher education committee chairperson.
It is a senior and serious showing. It remains to be seen how the reliance on committee chairpersons who have their own programmes heavy with legislation and oversight may affect the Section 194 inquiry committee.

Cape Town - Parliament s Portfolio Committee on Higher Education, Science and Technology has ordered Cape Peninsula University of Technology (CPUT) to immediately review its disciplinary policy to ensure it provided fairness.
Committee chairperson Philly Mapulane said the committee was concerned about the outcry by the Student Representative Council (SRC) that the policy and processes that the university employed to discipline them, particularly the student leaders, seemed to be unfair and targeted the leaders in order to discourage them from being critical of the university’s leadership.
Mapulane said the students complained that too much power seemed to be vested in the vice-chancellor and the dean of students to suspend them.
