Electoral system expert Dr. Michael Louis, who is also the founder of The Independent Candidates Association, tells BizNews viewers why a constitutional provision will prevent former President Jacob Zuma’s MK party from sabotaging Parliament. “I think that any boycott plans and things definitely won't work.” He also describes how President Cyril Ramaphosa has won “so much credibility within his last days of this political ambit”.
