The Full Story
In a significant development last week, Parliament's Section 89 Impeachment Committee has announced the suspension of Fadiel Adams, the leader of the National Coloured Congress (NCC) and Member of Parliament. The suspension, effective from August 3 for 20 days, was confirmed by Committee Secretary Thembinkosi Ngoma during proceedings.

This suspension adds to the complexities of the inquiry as political party discussions persist regarding its direction and future, especially following the legal challenges faced in the process.
