That issue must be investigated on the basis that there is substantiation of the matter,\u201d Papo said.<\/p>\n<p>He also said that August, the period after the recess, was too far.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere has to be a short deadline,\u201d Papo added.<\/p>\n<p>EFF\u2019s Natasha Ntlangwini said if Shivambu indicated that he would submit the letter that he will do so.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is not for any of us to put a timeline as to when you must submit your complaint and not,\u201d Ntlangwini said.<\/p>\n<p>She also said her party could be considering an internal investigation on the matter and that they could not be told by other parties about a deadline.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are not to be bullied here into this platform as to when the letter has to be submitted. The letter will be submitted after internal processes have taken place and that is it. They must wait,\u201d Ntlangwini said.<\/p>\n<p>IFP\u2019s Narend Singh said it was on public record that the serious allegations were made against the legal services\u2019 integrity.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have a responsibility as this committee and as Parliament to either say, yes, they did what they are alleged to have done or we must absolve them from those kinds of statements. It is a very serious matter that goes beyond receiving a statement,\u201d Singh said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have to deal with this matter in their interest as well because they can\u2019t protect themselves,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>ACDP\u2019s Steve Swart said it was not unreasonable to ask for a reasonable time to submit the letter with substantive evidence.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI suggest that the committee gives a reasonable time for the submission of such a complaint with substantiated evidence. Should the complaint not be forthcoming, clearly it should be dealt with and the allegation must be withdrawn,\u201d Swart said.<\/p>\n<p>Freedom Front Plus\u2019 Corne Mulder mentioned that Shivambu made the allegation thrice, including this week at a meeting of the committee tasked to amend the constitution to provide for expropriation without compensation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt seems Mr Shivambu has got all the claims and substantiation needed. Obviously, we can\u2019t let this hang in the air. We can\u2019t wait until August. I am in favour of setting a specified time frame,\u201d Mulder said.<\/p>\n<p>He also said should Shivambu not substantiate his claim, \u201cit should be withdrawn and we consider what action we will take.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>ANC deputy chief whip Doris Dlakude said the matter could not be an EFF process as allegations were made in a parliamentary committee.<\/p>\n<p>Dlakude said the substantiated letter should be submitted to Modise so that they receive a report on their return from the constituency period in August.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf there is no substantive evidence submitted, it means those allegations were fabrications,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>NFP\u2019s Munzoor Shaik Emam supported a deadline for Shivambu to make his submission on the very serious allegations made on the integrity of legal services.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf not then we need to conclude what to do, and obviously, there has to be serious consequences for making allegations of this nature. In my understanding this is a frivolous allegation but a serious one which affected the integrity of legal services,\u201d Shaik Emam said.<\/p>\n<p>Deputy Speaker Lechesa Tsenoli said Shivambu should be granted a week and request him to withdraw his remarks unconditionally and apologise to the legal services.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFailure to do that must constitute violation of the accepted conduct and further steps must be taken on the basis of that,\u201d Tsenoli said.<\/p>\n<p>National Assembly Speaker Thandi Modise said the matter was not just about the legal services.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is about Parliament. It is Parliament\u2019s reputation,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>Modise said they could not afford the allegation that the legal service was \u201csponsored and so on\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe will come back and tell you how we intend to conclude this matter,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>[email protected]<\/p>\n<p><b>Political Bureau<\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; South-Africa.
