ANC MPs’ disciplinary postponed [image: iol_news5] 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 Source: http://www.iol.co.za/news/politics/anc-mps-disciplinary-postponed-1.1287629 -- You are subscribed.
