An EFF member raises allegations of unlawful action in South Africa’s Department of Military Veterans, calling for Minister Angie Motshekga to be removed. The claim centres on what EFF MP Carl Niehaus describes as an “unlawful acting DG appointment.” According to Niehaus, the department’s leadership arrangement continues beyond what he characterises as legally permitted authority, which he frames as the “perpetuation of unlawful power.” The report reflects EFF’s position that the acting appointment is illegal and that the minister is responsible for it, with the party calling for her to step down. The coverage presented here does not include a detailed account of the specific appointment process, any court or legal findings, or an explicit response from the minister or the department. Overall, the items reported focus on the political and legal dispute raised by the EFF regarding the legality of an acting director-general arrangement within the department, and on the demand that the minister be removed in response.
