SACP's Mapaila lambasts ANC's selective disciplining
Johannesburg - The South African Communist Party’s (SACP) Solly Mapaila has labelled the axing of 'rebel' ANC MPs as selective discipline.
The second deputy general secretary was speaking at SACP's first plenary session of the 14th Congress Central Committee on Friday in Rhodesfield, East Rand.
Mapaila's comments come after the African National Congress (ANC) wrote to the former minister of tourism and disciplinary chair, Derek Hanekom, asking him to justify why he should not be removed from his position as chair.
ANC MP, Dr Makhosi Khoza was also targeted last week when she was fired as the committee chair of Parliament’s public service and administration portfolio.
The two have, on more than one occasion, spoken out against President Jacob Zuma, and were seen as leading the anti-Zuma charge in the run up to the vote of motion of no confidence which took place under a secret ballot earlier in August.
