The cost of COVID testing in private care

For the first time in South Africa’s democratic history, a parliamentary committee established to consider impeaching a sitting president has convened today. However, the 31-member committee will focus on just one initial order of business for its inaugural meeting: electing a chairperson. This historic committee was formed a week ago following a landmark Constitutional Court ruling in May, which compelled Parliament to take formal steps to consider misconduct allegations against President Cyril Ramaphosa. Despite the President applying for a judicial review of the underlying report last week, Parliament is moving forward.  Colleen Makhubele spoke to Nhlanhla Hadebe - Chief Whip of the IFP in the National Assembly, Steve Swart - African Christian Democratic Party (ACDP) Member and member in the Impeachment Committee and Dr. Bantu Wonder President for Mahlatsi United Africans Transformation (UAT).

In multi-party democracies, political party financing is usually discussed in terms of public funding or corporate donations. However, one of the most lucrative, internal, and tightly guarded financial mechanisms is the Party Salary Contribution (commonly referred to as a "party levy" or "political tithe"). When an individual becomes a Member of Parliament (MP), a provincial legislator, or a local counselor, they are technically public servants paid by the taxpayer. Yet, many political parties mandate that these representatives surrender a fixed percentage of their state-issued salaries back to the party's central coffers. Colleen Makhubele spoke to Bafana Phalane – Political Analyst and Goodenough Mashego - Independent Political Analyst.
