ANC's Ntuli, Ntshavheni take swipes at DA for boycotting National Dialogue
CAPE TOWN - The African National Congress (ANC)'s chief whip, Mdumiseni Ntuli, and Minister in the Presidency Khumbudzo Ntshavheni have both taken swipes at the Democratic Alliance (DA) for boycotting the National Dialogue during debate on the budget vote of the Presidency. President Cyril Ramaphosa on Wednesday sought to address the National Dialogue impasse with the DA upfront, saying it won't be a talk-shop and is being designed to hear the voices of society, so their needs can be properly addressed. ALSO READ: Ramaphosa says National Dialogue not 'just about talking', expects it to 'produce real results' Mdumiseni was the first to criticise the DA's announcement in June that it would not participate in the National Dialogue because of the cost involved and because the president was not acting fairly in his disciplinary action against members of the executive. Ntuli also said Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) leader Julius Malema was wrong to say the dialogue would be useless and a waste of money. 'It is my considered view that nobody must be allowed to stop the direction of the National Dialogue, and the country must be afforded an opportunity, from all sectors of society, to find solutions to the problems that continue to confront us.' Outlining how the dialogue will work, Ntshavheni also took a potshot at the DA, saying there had been an overwhelming response from civil society. 'When you don't want to participate, you'll remain there alone. South Africans are eager to participate.' With the first leg of the dialogue set to start in August, Ntshavheni said it would not be a once-off event and that the dialogue will continue in various forms and platforms for at least a year. On Wednesday night, the Presidency announced Professor Tinyiko Maluleke and Roelf Meyer as the co-chairpersons of the eminent persons group responsible for guiding the dialogue.

Ramaphosa says firing Mchunu based on untested allegations would be unfair, 'create a dangerous precedent'
CAPE TOWN - President Cyril Ramaphosa said that he could not take punitive steps against suspended police minister, Senzo Mchunu, on the basis of untested allegations. He came to the defence of Mchunu in the National Assembly on Wednesday afternoon, as well as his decision to order a commission of inquiry into allegations of corruption within the police and interference by Mchunu. Delivering his budget vote address in the House, Ramaphosa said it was untrue that commissions of inquiry did not result in tangible actions. ALSO READ: Ramaphosa says National Dialogue not 'just about talking', expects it to 'produce real results' President Ramaphosa has given the directive for two commissions of inquiry in recent weeks - one into the alleged interference in the prosecution of truth and reconciliation cases, and the other into alleged collusion and infiltration within the SAPS. Responding to criticism to launch an inquiry to investigate claims made by KwaZulu-Natal Police Commissioner Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi, Ramaphosa said that while the allegations were serious, they were untested. "It is therefore necessary that we establish the facts through an independent, credible process so that we can ensure accountability and safeguard public confidence in the police service." Ramaphosa also responded to calls for Mchunu to be fired based on Mkhwanazi's allegations and misleading Parliament. "Not only would this be unfair, but it would create a dangerous precedent." He said the view that commissions of inquiry did not produce meaningful results was wrong and not borne out by evidence.
