Yesterday the Parliamentary Caucus issued a statement thanking all the parliamentarians who have resigned in the past week, namely Tshilidzi Munyai, Mervyn Dirks, Masefako Clarah Dikgale and Matshidiso Mfikoe.
While it is not known where Dirks and Dikgale are going, Munyai and Mfikoe have been sworn in as members in the Gauteng Legislature.
“The ANC Caucus is thrilled that the Gauteng provincial legislature has sworn in comrades Tshilidzi Munyai and Matshidiso Mfikoe. We trust that they will contribute their wealth of experience gained in the NA (National Assembly) to enhance the work of the Gauteng legislature,” read the statement.
The Caucus also welcomed four new ANC leaders who will take their oath of office as MPs today.
The new leaders are Paul Mashatile (ANC Deputy President from Gauteng Province), Maropene Ramokgopa (ANC Second Deputy Secretary General from Limpopo Province), Sihle Zikalala (ANC NEC member from KwaZulu-Natal Province) and Parks Tau (ANC NEC member from Gauteng Province).
The ANC Caucus congratulated the four members and said it looked forward to benefiting from their tremendous skills, talents, and experience.
