NATIONAL NEWS - The African National Congress (ANC) Caucus in Parliament has questioned the media interest shown to newly appointed MP Brian Molefe.
It’s emerged the former Eskom CEO has been assigned to the Economic Development and International Relations Portfolio committees.
There was speculation he would join the Standing Committee on Finance.
The ANC caucus says MPs are assigned to committees based on their expertise.
Acting caucus spokesperson Nonceba Mhlauli says there is nothing strange about Molefe’s appointment.
“It’s not something that’s unusual, it happens all the time. Comrade Molefe was appointed to the appropriate committee.” Mhlauli added MPs are assigned in consultation with the caucus.
