Former National Council of Provinces chairperson Thandi Modise is expected to be sworn in as speaker of the National Assembly on Wednesday, after receiving the governing party's backing on Monday.
Along with other 399 incoming members of the sixth Parliament, she will file into the National Assembly at 10:30 on Wednesday, and will take the oaths of affirmation, led by Chief Justice Mogoeng Mogoeng. She previously served as chairperson of the Portfolio Committee on Defence and most recently, NCOP chair – a role she occupied since 2014.
Modise was the first House chairperson in Parliament to kick Malema out of the House in 2014, after he said the"ANC government massacred the people in Marikana", setting in motion a regular trend in the National Assembly.Modise made headlines in 2014 after the national SPCA discovered 79 dead animals, including 58 pigs, on a farm owned by her.
