2 July 2025- The Powers and Privileges Committee has resolved to refer the matter, at the request of the Speaker of the National Assembly (NA), relating to the conduct of Visvin Reddy during the sitting of the 4 March 2025, to Parliament’s Disciplinary Committee. The committee agreed that although Reddy’s actions do not constitute contempt of Parliament as per Section 12 of the Powers, Privileges and Immunities of Parliament and Provincial Legislatures Act, his actions do constitute misconduct.
The Chairperson of the Committee, Weziwe Tikana-Gxotiwe said: “The matter was referred to the committee by the Speaker of the National Assembly in terms of rule 214 of the NA Rules. The committee will table its report to the NA for consideration.
“The committee also considered another matter referred by the Speaker relating to the conduct of Marlon Daniels on 2 April 2025. The committee resolved to proceed with a formal inquiry to determine, through oral evidence, whether Daniels’ actions constituted contempt of Parliament in terms of the Act and NA Rules.”
