A group of the 21 backbench ANC MP’s who have been charged with scamming parliament seem to be getting a little bit hot under the collar that they are being charged while more senior ANC MP such as Home Affairs Minister Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula are allowed to merely pay some form of restitution.

We want to know what criterion was used to decide to prosecute us and not the others. There are 330 names on that list and that issue will have to be raised with the judge if we go to court.

330 names? There are 490 people in national parliament in total! That means over 2/3 of parliamentarians are implicated.
