Political parties are using this platform as a yard stick ahead of Municipal Elections but they forget Sizane, did not resign as an ANC card carrying member. That’s clear from the onset.
The ANC announced earlier that Sizani had resigned from Parliament because he had been redeployed.
Yes, he might have been under “heavy pressure” to defend things he did not agree with, which included Nkandla, and so he became unpopular, so said Cope but as we know politics is dirty a game, opposition are taking advantage of the situation.
According to City Press, the chief whip told reporters outside the National Assembly that he was taking up the post of ambassador to
Germany, after it became vacant following the retirement of Dr Makhenkesi Stofile, former sport minister.
Says DA chief whip John Steenhuisen: “For the past three years Sizani has been forced to make a career of defending the indefensible in Parliament at President [Jacob] Zuma’s behest, and has sustained numerous embarrassments in the National Assembly in the process.”
