News24 reports that opposition MPs stood up and cheered when the ANC didn't have enough MPs in the National Assembly on Tuesday to approve the nomination of former Msunduzi mayor Zanele Hlatshwayo as a Public Service Commission (PSC) commissioner.
Last week, the Portfolio Committee on Public Service and Administration nominated Hlatswayo for the PSC. The DA strongly opposed Hlatswayo's appointment to the PSC. The ANC's Hlatshwayo was the mayor of Msunduzi from 2007 to 2010. In March 2010, the KwaZulu-Natal Executive Committee put the municipality under administration because of its financial status, non-compliance with various statutory obligations relating to financial, institutional and governance matters and a lack of oversight by the council. Hlatshwayo and her executive were then removed. There are 14 PSC commissioners, five of whom are appointed by the National Assembly.
