President Cyril Ramaphosa looks on during a media briefing, at the Union Building in Pretoria, South Africa, September 13, 2024.
The uMkhonto weSizwe Party (MKP) has formally given notice to the Speaker of the National Assembly, Thoko Didiza, of its intention to file a motion of no confidence in President Cyril Ramaphosa.
The correspondence by MKP Parliamentary leader, Dr John Hlophe, also requests for this to be done by a secret ballot.
This follows yesterday’s Constitutional Court judgment.
The party says the proceedings will have to be done through a secret ballot, to safeguard the independence and integrity of members votes.
It has asked that the motion be prioritised, and scheduled, debated and voted upon within a reasonable period, and without undue delay.
The MKP says Parliament has continually failed to hold the President accountable, thereby undermining the rule of law.
