The opposition African Christian Democratic Party (ACDP) on Tuesday announced a press briefing to welcome former ANC MP Vytjie Mentor to the party.
Neither party leaders nor Mentor could immediately be reached for further details.
Mentor is a former chairperson of the parliamentary portfolio committee on public enterprises, who has claimed that the Gupta family offered her a Cabinet post in return for political favours.
She has been outspoken in her criticism of the ANC recently. Her decision to join the conservative ACDP comes just more than a month before national elections.
