Carter also served as Deputy Secretary-General of the Congress of the People. Quotes The plethora of Commissions that fill our daily headlines with ever growing admissions of betrayal and the abuse of power (of treasonous proportions), have in essence supplanted what should have been the responsibility and moral authority of the National Assembly. And as much as most South Africans rejoiced at the eventual ‘removal from office’ of Jacob Zuma, and at initial signs of a new-found moral zeal within the corridors of Parliament, the recent inexplicable protection of the Public Protector and the manner in which the majority party processed the Robert McBride matter ‘at any cost’, point to the adage that ‘the more things change, the more they stay the same’. But the truth is that the fifth Parliament failed in its duties. It violated and breached its duty to hold then President Zuma and his executive to account. Various courts and our apex court have said as much. And more recently it seems intent on perpetuating this evil. External links Category:Living people Category:Politicians from South Africa
