This‚ Dennis Bloem said‚ was because the party “will not make light of Mr Zuma breaking his oath of office”.
“He was admonished by the Constitutional Court for transgressing the Constitution. What Mr Zuma did has to have repercussions but none are forthcoming‚” he added.
The party would “continue to discuss its absence from the legislature and continue to look for avenues to make the ConCourt judgment count”‚ Bloem said of Chief Justice Mogoeng Mogoeng’s ruling that Zuma violated the Constitution in his handling of the Nkandla matter.
“Likewise‚ Parliament also failed South Africa and the nation by acting in a servile and ingratiating manner and meekly surrendering the right of the legislature to exist independent of the other two arms of government‚” he added.
