After a meeting of the committee on Thursday morning, Mapisa-Nqakula ruled that the ATM motion be removed from the parliamentary programme. However, sANC MP Hope Papo was the first to motivate for the removal of the motion to give other parties a chance to also move motions against Ramaphosa. On Wednesday, ATM leader Vuyo Zungula told the sitting of the National Assembly that he did not want to go ahead with the motion because his party had gone to court to force Mapisa-Nqakula to allow a secret ballot on voting for the motion. Addressing the committee on Thursday, Zungula maintained there was an ongoing court process because the court only struck the case off the urgent roll and the case and its merits were not discussed.
