The chairperson of the Standing Committee on Finance, Joe Maswanganyi, said he would have expected Finance Minister Enoch Godongwana to discuss the matter with Parliament first.

The chairperson of the Standing Committee on Finance, Joe Maswanganyi, said he would have expected Finance Minister Enoch Godongwana to discuss the matter with Parliament first.

This follows allegations at the Madlanga Commission of Inquiry last week that she improperly shared information from a case docket with senior Crime Intelligence officer Feroz Khan in relation to an assault complaint against him.

The United Nations declared 18 July to be Nelson Mandela International Day in 2009 to inspire a global day of action to honour his legacy through acts that fight against poverty, inequality and injustice.

Maswanganyi said that major roleplayers in the matter, including all provincial MECs will be called to Parliament as soon as this week, to interrogate the decision that Treasury said is corrective and not punitive.

Treasury stunned municipalities last week when it invoked legislative provisions to withhold funding meant for municipal service delivery to councils whose finances are not in order.

Chief Justice Mandisa Maya said unshackling the judiciary from the Department of Justice and Constitutional Development will enhance the independence of this arm of state and the separation of powers.

Parliament said that it regards the visit as an important milestone in advancing parliamentary diplomacy and reinforcing the historic friendship and strategic partnership with Russia.
