Parliament Speaker Thoko Didiza says Malusi Gigaba’s removal from the defence committee was procedurally incorrect. She says the change does not take effect while Parliament reviews the matter, leaving the existing committee arrangements in place.
The issue is presented by outlets as a procedural dispute over how committee membership changes are handled in the legislature, rather than a determination on the merits of Gigaba’s role. Didiza’s position is that the process used to remove him did not follow parliamentary procedure, prompting further scrutiny by Parliament.
Across coverage, the central point is that Parliament is set to investigate or confirm the correct process for committee changes, and until then, the status quo remains. No details of specific consequences for Gigaba’s membership beyond the temporary hold are reported in the provided materials.
