Susan Shabangu resigns as MP
Shabangu’s resignation comes after that of Dipuo Letsatsi-Duba and Nomaindiya Mfeketo.
Former minister of social development Susan Shabangu has become the third MP to recently tender her resignation.
In a statement on Thursday, Parliament spokesperson Moloto Mothapo said Shabangu’s resignation meant there were currently four “casual vacancies” – which arose from resignations after MPs were sworn in – in the National Assembly.
“This is due to the recent resignations of Ms Dipuo Letsatsi-Duba, Ms Susan Shabangu and Ms Nomaindiya Mfeketo from Parliament. In addition, President Rampahosa ceased being an MP when the NA elected him as President of the Republic on 22 May.”
Letsatsi-Duba is the former minister of state security while Mfeketo is the former minister of human settlements.
