The disciplinary hearing of ANC MPs Ben Turok and Gloria Borman was
postponed on Wednesday.

The office of ANC national disciplinary committee chairman Derek Hanekom
said the matter had not gone ahead as scheduled and had been postponed
until further notice.

Turok and Borman faced disciplinary proceedings for failing to vote on the
Protection of State Information Bill in Parliament in November.

Turok, who is one of the ANC's leading free-thinkers and a veteran who
contributed to the writing of the 1955 Freedom Charter, slipped out of the
Assembly as voting time approached.

Borman was the sole ANC abstainer in the voting on the bills.

The ANC majority drove the contentious bill through the National Assembly
despite protests in and outside Parliament.

The so-called “secrecy bill” was adopted with 229 to 107 votes, and two
abstentions, by the 400-member chamber. - Sapa
