The DA has repeated its call for Home Affairs Minister Malusi Gigaba to go.
DA chief whip in Parliament, John Steenhuisen, made the call on Saturday after he said the Constitutional Court heard refused to hear an appeal by Gigaba to set aside a judgment which found that he lied under oath.
Steenhuisensaid it was little wonder that Gigaba “did a runner” from Parliament on Wednesday when he was due to appear before a Parliamentary Committee.
“Clearly, Minister Gigaba cannot face the music.,” he said.
“The fact is that he is deeply compromised and cannot be trusted to carry out his constitutional mandate to serve the people of South Africa,”Steenhuisen said.
He said Minister Gigaba was not above lying under oath nor laying the groundwork for the Gupta’s to capture key public institutions for their own selfish gain.
Steenhuisen said that it is now up to President Cyril Ramaphosato walk the talk and take steps to remove Minister Gigaba as a matter of urgency.
