The Parliamentary Communication Services on behalf of the chairperson of the portfolio committee on Home Affairs, Mr Buang Mashile, has issued out a statement in which it stipulates that it has noted media reports suggesting that the Chairperson of the Independent Electoral Commission, Advocate Pansy Tlakula has resigned.
According to the statement, the Committee was in a process of considering the matter as recommended by the Electoral Court. In light of this, the Committee hopes that the letter of resignation will be sent to the Speaker of the National Assembly who will then direct the Committee on the way forward.
The Committee will, following direction from the Speaker, communicate with all South Africans regarding to this matter.
