The Democratic Alliance has in the past, charged that the African National Congress MPs obstructed attempts in Parliament to hold then President Jacob Zuma and his executive, accountable for alleged fraud and maladministration.“Directly elected Presidents, there are other advantages, but not this one [of ending corruption and preventing state capture]. For example, in the case of a President like what we have, there are two ways in which Parliament can deal with the President.

“First of all, it is the motion of no confidence. A directly elected President … the motion of no confidence doesn’t exist. The second one is impeachment. When the President has violated the Constitution, and he is removed with a two third majority,” adds Kotze.
