The ANC Parliamentary Caucus has decided to take firm action through an internal disciplinary process against ANC MP Boy Mamabolo, who threatened Sunday World Journalist Ngwako Malatji.

We denounce the alleged unbecoming behavior of the ANC Member of Parliament. As an MP, Cde Mamabolo is bound by the Oath of Office to serve, represent, respect and protect the citizens of the Republic of South Africa.

At all times, the ANC Caucus has strived to maintain a cordial relationship with members of the media and respects the Constitutional values and Bill of Rights, including freedom of expression as well as the freedom of the press and other media to do its work.

We further communicated with Mr Malatji informing him of the internal disciplinary action against Mamabolo.

The matter has been referred to the National Caucus Disciplinary Committee today, 01 August 2020, by ANC Chief Whip Pemmy Majodina.

The ANC Caucus will communicate the outcomes of the disciplinary process in due course. We also note that Mr Malatji opened a case against Mamabolo and we will allow the law to take its course.

Issued by the Office of the Chief Whip, Hon. Pemmy Majodina
