The Powers and Privileges Committee has referred MK Party Member of Parliament (MP) Visvin Reddy to Parliament's Disciplinary Committee following his conduct during a heated National Assembly (NA) sitting on March 4, 2025.
This comes after Reddy was ordered to leave the chamber for repeatedly shouting, 'Pemmy must go,' in a call for Water Minister Pemmy Majodina's removal amid a worsening national water crisis.
The committee, chaired by Weziwe Tikana-Gxotiwe, said that while Reddy's conduct did not constitute contempt of Parliament under Section 12 of the Powers, Privileges and Immunities of Parliament and Provincial Legislatures Act, it did amount to misconduct.
Tikana-Gxotiwe said the matter was referred to the committee by the Speaker of the National Assembly (NA) in terms of rule 214 of the NA Rules. '
'The committee will table its report to the NA for consideration.''
