Magashule dismissed questions on the suitability of some of the new chairpersons, saying they had been cleared by the ANC integrity commission.
Former public service minister and Gupta acolyte Faith Muthambi has been appointed as the new chairperson of co-operative governance and tradition affairs, while Thandi Mahambehlala has been deployed to the international relations committee.
"The law allows them to be members of parliament because they have not been found guilty of anything by a court of law … Allow the law of natural justice to take its own course, that's what we've said. "We don't put people on [a] factional basis, so that analysis is not correct. We have men and women who have been in the ANC, young people, intergenerational mix. We made sure that we have returning members."
Other Ramaphosa supporters who are new parliamentary committee chairpersons include former ANC Gauteng secretary Hope Papo who is now the political head of the communications committee and former deputy finance minister Mondli Gungubele who is now leading the social development portfolio.
