Baleka Mbete must go
13 November 2014
The events of today's sitting of the House proves once and for all that Baleka Mbete can no longer be Speaker.
The DA calls for her immediate resignation for the following reasons:
1) She attempted to purposefully mislead Parliament today, claiming that the length of the Parliamentary agenda was an ‘unforeseen eventuality', when it was in fact discussed in great detail earlier today by all chief whips.
2) The DA raised the issue of the length of the agenda for today's sitting and specifically requested that items be removed, but the ANC insisted on the long agenda.
