Mantashe convinced Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula is right for the job. Her track record suggests otherwise, says opposition
“While the ANC seeks to give a glowing account of Mapisa-Nqakula’s tenure in government, the reality is that there is nothing to celebrate. She is not fit to lead parliament as she does not espouse the principles of accountability and transparency required to lead the institution. This nomination is just an example of the ANC recycling an underperforming minister,” said DA chief whip Natasha Mazzone.
“How can the ANC nominate and support an individual whose track record is one of contempt of the very principles parliament seeks to uphold and promote?” “The most important thing is that Mapisa-Nqakula, having been moved from defence, we are putting her up as candidate for speaker of parliament in the national assembly,” said Mantashe.
