Eastern Cape Legislature sitting adjourns

The Bhisho Legislature adjourned just before noon today after agreeing to a proposed constitutional amendment that will outlaw crossing the floor and accepting a damning report on local government that the portfolio committee described as “an embarrassing cut and paste job”.

The Legislature sits again tomorrow afternoon when it will consider the policy speeches of the Premier and MECs for Agriculture, Economic Affairs, Environment and Tourism and Education.

The session is scheduled to last until Friday.
