Africa-Press – South-Africa. <\/strong><\/span>President Cyril Ramaphosa has suspended small business development deputy minister Dipuo Peters for a month.<\/p>\n

This was confirmed by his spokesperson Vincent Magwenya on Friday.’The president has, in writing, informed Peters of his decision to suspend her.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe suspension, which will be without pay, became effective on February 28 and will end on March 28.\u201d<\/p>\n

Peters’ suspension stems from the sanction handed to her in January by parliament’s joint committee on ethics and members\u2019 interests.<\/p>\n

She was suspended from all parliament-related sittings as an MP for one term after the committee considered a complaint against Peters and found she had breached the code of ethical conduct in her former portfolio as transport minister.<\/p>\n

The complaint, launched by #UniteBehind leader Zackie Achmat, included allegations that Peters \u201cwas neglectful in her previous portfolio as minister of transport by failing to appoint a group CEO of the Passenger Rail Agency of South Africa.\u201d<\/p>\n
