Makhosi Khoza removed from her position as Chair of the Public Service Portfolio Committee after voting with conscience

Deputy Chief Justice Raymond Zondo has expressed outrage at revelations that four ANC MPs who voted with their conscience were told that they would be disciplined by the party's top leadership. Zondo was responding to the testimony of Makhosi Khoza who was removed from her position as Chairperson of the Public Service Portfolio Committee after admitting that she had voted with her conscience in support of the opposition's August 2017 vote of no confidence against Former President Jacob Zuma. A month earlier, the Constitutional Court had ruled that it was lawful for parliamentarians to be guided by their conscience in voting on resolutions.
