The African National Congress ANC says its caucus in parliament reserves the right to consider their positions on certain Budgets after Democratic Alliance DA leader John Steenhuisen said his party may not support the Budgets of what he says are compromised ANC ministers.
Steenhuisen addressed the media in Cape Town and announced that his party would be withdrawing from the National Dialogue announced recently by President Cyril Ramaphosa.
Steenhuisen says Ramaphosa concocted a reason to remove Deputy Minister Andrew Whitfield who had travelled to the US as part of a DA delegation without the presidents authorization.
Steenhuisen earlier said Ramaphosa had 48 hours to fire what he called compromised ministers such as Higher Education Minister Nobuhle Nkabane and Human Settlements Minister, Thembi Simelane.
