Dlamini-Zuma heading to Parliament
ANC presidential hopeful Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma will be sworn in as an ANC MP.
That's according to the office of the ANC Chief Whip.
Spokesperson Nonceba Mahlauli says: "We confirm that comrade Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma will be replacing Pule Mabe as an ANC MP from the national list. Comrade Matthews Wolmarans will be replacing Brian Molefe from the provincial list of the North West."

Dlamini-Zuma is reportedly expected to be sworn in next week.
However, Mahlauli says they are not aware of when the pair will be sworn in.
"We are waiting for the office of the speaker to provide us with a date."
Mabe stepped down as an MP last week.
In June, he had been slapped with a fine for 15 days of his salary for breaching the code of parliamentarians.
He had been implicated in the public protector's report into irregularities at the state-owned rail agency, Prasa.
