All ANC NA members should do is that which they are sworn to do which will mean putting the country and constitution before the party. Weighty stuff indeed. It's amazing that Molewa is a superwoman protecting our rights during the day and a keyboard warrior by night deigning to grace the DM and telling us about how John Stuart Mill would agree with the ANC. With so much responsibility she'll be forgiven then for the contradictions in her reasoning which no doubt you've observed and which others here have pointed out if you have not.

Anyway, it's a pity that the constiutional court has found the NA wanting and nothing has happened. So to use Molewa's own words, ANC NA members have shown that "the benches are stacked with representatives with not a backbone among them".

As a parliamentarian, given her vital job, she should consider the reason why the argument for a secret ballot is being made. But, sadly, she merely does what the consensus says and not what is right.
