Another MP resigns
Former Deputy Minister of Arts and Culture Rejoice Mabudafhasi has resigned as a member of parliament.
This brings to five, the number of resignations, since President Jacob Zuma's cabinet reshuffle.
African National Congress (ANC) Chief Whip Spokesperson Nonceba Mhlauli says Mabudafhasi's resignation was effective on 30 April 2017.
"Similar to the various resignations that we process on a regular basis, no reasons were stated for her resignation", said Mhlauli.
Mabudafhasi's resignation follows closely behind that of former Minister of Energy Tina Joemat-Pettersson, after President Jacob Zuma's cabinet reshuffle.
Other MPs who have resigned include former Deputy Minister of Finance Mcebisi Jonas, former Minister of Transport, Dipuo Peters and former public service and administration minister, Ngoako Ramathlodi.
