Why MK can’t sabotage Parliament & Why CR has made a “credibility comeback”

Loading player...
Electoral system expert Dr. Michael Louis, who is also the founder of The Independent Candidates Association, tells BizNews viewers why a constitutional provision will prevent former President Jacob Zuma’s MK party from sabotaging Parliament. “I think that any boycott plans and things definitely won't work.” He also describes how President Cyril Ramaphosa has won “so much credibility within his last days of this political ambit”. Dr Louis further explains the workings of a Government of National Unity which he hails as “definitely the preferred option”. He also simplifies the complicated process of how the demarcation of seats for the National Assembly gets allocated. He lists the challenges faced by independent candidates in the last  election; says the Electoral Act is not constitutional; vows that there will be four ballots in the next election - and that South Africal will have a constituency-based system to “take our power back and nominate our leaders to be more accountable”. - Chris Steyn
