Dr Kgosientsho Ramokgopa’s consistent absence from key meetings has sparked concerns among committee members in the Western Cape legislature.

During the parliamentary session on Tuesday morning, Deidré Baartman, a committee member affiliated with the DA and also the chairperson of the education committee, expressed that the Western Cape Provincial Parliament faced a complete disruption of committee meetings due to the adjustments made for Tuesday’s meeting, which was supposed to feature Ramokgopa, but he was absent.

Peter Marais from the Freedom Front Plus party commented that Ramokgopa was well aware that he couldn’t employ the same tactics he might use with other provinces. After receiving a warning from Cameron Dugmore of the ANC that the term he used was improper, Marais withdrew a potentially inappropriate comment about the minister’s actions.

While various committee members discussed the prospect of issuing a summons to ensure Ramokgopa’s presence, Nomi Nkondlo from the ANC emphasised that her support was for registering a concern rather than pursuing a summons.
