Parliament’s portfolio committee on justice met on Tuesday afternoon to deliberate on the seven candidates who threw their names in the hat for the job.A political line was immediately drawn in the sand with ANC MPs on the committee throwing their full weight behind Gcaleka while the EFF and DA chose to support Moshoeshoe and vehemently opposed Gcaleka.
The DA’s Glynnis Breytenbach began by expressing disappointment in the overall calibre of the candidates. Slamming Mohamed’s assessment of the Gcaleka interview, Breytenbach says she found her “defensive and emotional”. Both the EFF and DA took issue with Gcaleka’s role as legal advisor to former minister Malusi Gigaba. Gcaleka served in that role when the courts ruled that Gigaba had essentially lied under oath.
