Controversial ANC MP Mervyn Dirks’s disciplinary hearing has hit a snag as the party and its parliamentary caucus focuses its priorities on other party activities.
In leaked audio from a closed ANC national executive committee meeting, party president Cyril Ramaphosa said that he’d rather fall on his sword than have the public find out that their money was being used to fund internal contests.
Suspended African National Congress (ANC) secretary-general Ace Magashule said that Mervyn Dirks should not have been suspended for calling for President Cyril Ramaphosa to appear before the Standing Committee on Public Accounts (Scopa).
On Tuesday night, members of Parliament (MPs) discussed a letter from suspended African National Congress (ANC) MP Mervyn Dirks, who complained to the committee that President Cyril Ramaphosa turned a blind eye to corruption relating to the funding of ANC election campaigns.
Mervyn Dirks landed in trouble with the governing party after he asked that President Cyril Ramaphosa be summoned to appear before Parliament s finance watchdog, Scopa.
