<\/a><\/p>\nFinance Minister Pravin Gordhan tabled the bill during the medium-term budget policy statement on October 26, providing for a R5.41bn adjustment to national budgets.<\/p>\n The ANC failed to secure the presence of enough members in the National Assembly, although the party called for a “three-line-whip” on Tuesday and Wednesday, which means attendance is mandatory.<\/p>\n \u201cThe ANC could not muster enough votes to form quorum,\u201d Maynier said \u201cand not even Deputy President Cyril Ramaphosa\u2019s last-minute dash to vote was enough to prevent the Division of Revenue Amendment Bill from being defeated a second time in Parliament.<\/p>\n \u201cWhat this proves is that the ANC are now so internally divided, so dysfunctional, so disinterested and so poorly disciplined that they are not even capable of getting the basics right, which is simply to show up and vote in Parliament,\u201d Maynier said.<\/p>\n The DA does not support the bill, as it argues it provides for an \u201cunfair share of revenue between the national, provincial and municipal spheres of government\u201d.<\/p>\n \u201cWe will therefore not vote to support it when it is placed on the order paper for a third time on Tuesday November 22,\u201d Maynier said.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, the United Democratic Movement\u2019s Nqabayomzi Kwankwa told News24 by phone that it\u2019s an \u201cembarrassment that a bill of this importance\u201d could not be passed.<\/p>\n \u201cIt means the ANC are not serious about governance, because if they were, they would be able to get the numbers together. The ANC must pull itself together and do what it was elected to do.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
