* Chief Justice Mogoeng Mogoeng has responded to questions on the debacle that led to Buffalo City Municipality Mayor Zukisa Faku being sworn in as a member of the current sixth Parliament. Spokesperson for the judiciary, Nathi Mncube said it would be incorrect to accuse the Chief Justice of dereliction of duty in relation to the eligibility of the convicted faudster to be a member of the National Assembly. Mncube said it was the primary responsibility of political parties and then, secondly, the task of the IEC to ensure that only the names of those who met the requirements set out in section 47 of the Constitution, were submitted to the Chief Justice for the administration of the oath or affirmation at the first sitting of the National Assembly.
