Makhosi Khoza redeployed
African National Congress (ANC) MP Makhosi Khoza has been redeployed in Parliament.
This follows her removal as chairperson of the parliamentary portfolio committee on public service and administration last month.
She had been removed from the post after several of her fellow ANC MPs boycotted a meeting she was set to chair.
The Office of the ANC Chief Whip has confirmed the redeployment.
ANC parliamentary spokesperson Nonceba Mhlauli says Khoza and ANC MP Mervyn Dirks were redeployed out of the portfolio committee of public service and administration.
"Comrade Khoza will now be serving on the portfolio committee on economic development, while comrade Dirks will be serving on the portfolio committee on small business," she confirms.

Khoza has been vocal in her criticism of the ANC leadership.
She was also vocal about her support for a secret ballot during the recent motion of no confidence in President Jacob Zuma.
Khoza has been charged with two counts of ill-discipline by the ANC in KwaZulu-Natal.
The disciplinary hearing had been scheduled for 10 September.
Khoza has been accused of contravening 11 party rules including bringing the ANC into disrepute, failing to comply with party policy and behaving in a manner which provokes divisions or impacts negatively on the unity of the ANC.
