NEW ANC MEMBERS OF PARLIAMENT

The Office of the ANC Chief Whip in Parliament announces new deployments to the
National Assembly to fill existing vacancies in the ANC Parliamentary Caucus. These
vacancies were created primarily by the redeployment of some comrades to other positions
of responsibility outside Parliament.

Arising from the vacancies, the National Lists of KZN, Northern Cape and Mpumalanga were
reviewed in terms of the provisions of the Electoral Act. The Free State was depleted, and
was supplemented.

The following comrades have been deployed by the ANC to take up positions as ANC
Members of Parliament in the National Assembly.

 Cde David Mabuza: filling the vacancy left by Cde Dudu Manana who has been
deployed to the Mpumalanga Provincial Legislature from the Mpumalanga-to-
National list.

 Cde Reginah Mhaule: filling the vacancy left by Cde James Skhosana who redeployed
to the Mpumalanga Provincial Legislature from the Mpumalanga-to-National List.

 Cde Zweli Mkhize: filling the vacancy arising out of the passing of Cde Trevor
Bonhomme from the KZN-to-National list.

 Cde Nathi Nhleko: filling the vacancy arising out of the resignation of Cde Makhosi
Khoza from the KZN-to-National list.

 Cde Peggy Nkonyeni: filling the vacancy arising out of the passing of Cde Beatrice
Ngcobo from the KZN-to-National list.

 Cde Nhlanhla Nene: filling vacancy left by Cde Senzo Mchunu who declined his
nomination due to his full time deployment as ANC National Organiser from the KZN-
to-National list.
  Cde Alvin Botes: filling the vacancy left by Cde Patrick Mabilo who resigned in
October 2017 from the Northern Cape-to-National list.

 Cde Nhlanhla Xaba: filling the vacancy left by Cde Thabo Manyoni who resigned in
May 2017 from the Free State-to-National list supplementation.

The swearing in will take place tomorrow, 27 February 2018 at 12:30.

The ANC also announces the resignation of Cde Nokuzola Tolashe as a Member of
Parliament from the Eastern Cape-to-National list following her redeployment to the
Lukhanji Local Municipality. She was elected Mayor of the municipality earlier today.

The Office of the Chief Whip congratulates these new deployees and those appointed to the
National Executive as announced by the President of the Republic, Cde Cyril Ramaphosa. We
wish them well.
