RISE Mzansi MP Makashule Gana.
ActionSA has strongly described the election of Makashule Gana as Parliament’s Impeachment Committee Chairperson as a bad outcome.
ActionSA has argued that Gana is compromised and there’s a risk of the ANC influencing him because his party, Rise Mzansi, is part of the Government of National Unity (GNU).
Gana, who the African National Congress (ANC) nominated on Monday, says the inquiry into President Cyril Ramaphosa requires an independent chairperson.

Thirty-one MPs have been appointed to the Section 89 Committee.
It will determine if there’s enough evidence for President Cyril Ramaphosa to face impeachment over the theft of approximately $580 000 from his Phala Phala farm in Bela-Bela, Limpopo, in 2020.
ActionSA’s Chief Whip Lerato Ngobeni says, “The chairperson has a huge responsibility. The chairperson is very involved in the evidence leader selection, the decisions on when a committee has to meet. Suffice it to say that we believe that we didn’t get the worst possible outcome, in that it could have been an ANC chairperson. But we did get the second worst outcome because he is a member of the GNU and we all know that the ANC doesn’t dish out positions for free.”-Reporting by Kholofelo Teffo
