So our press conference is postponed to tomorrow (Thursday)’ spokesperson Jackson Mthembu is quoted as saying in a report on the News24 site. ‘We need to apply our minds adequately to the report so that we don't just come here with something that we have not applied our minds to.’

Policy: Lead-swinging MPs to get 11 built-in excuses
MPs now have as many as 11 reasons to be absent from work, thanks to a ‘generous’ new attendance policy adopted last week. A Sunday Times report says the policy lists 11 categories of leave that will allow MPs to take two days of ‘cultural or religious leave’, among others. On top of that, MPs get five days set aside for special leave to attend traditional initiation, traditional training and court appearances, among other specified activities. MPs with businesses can also take up to five days of ‘private business leave’, provided they declare these businesses to Parliament. A five-day family responsibility leave is also part of the package. It includes members of the extended family up to in-laws and traditional kinship. However, notes the report, should the five days not be enough, MPs can get a further five days under the compassionate leave category. Mathetha Swafo, an employment law spec ialist at Dibata Dispute Resolutions, reportedly said Parliament’s proposed leave for MPs was too generous. He said if it were to be applied in the private sector and other public sector institutions, people would forever be on leave. It will be deemed to be quite generous ... if it was an employer-employee compact, it wouldn’t be functional. There would not be any work done because people would be forever on leave.’
