- The motion was filed by the ATM.
- The ATM has argued that Ramaphosa has not provided leadership.
President Cyril Ramaphosa will face his first vote of no confidence next Thursday.
At Thursday’s meeting of the National Assembly Programming Committee, Parliament Secretary Masibulele Xaso said National Assembly Speaker Thandi Modise had passed the African Transformation Movement (ATM) motion of no confidence.
The matter was presented to him in February of this year.
Xaso said he suggested that it be included in the National Assembly program for Thursday’s plenary. The committee agreed and said nothing more about it.

ATM leader Vuyo Zungula previously said that the president had not provided leadership to the country.
He regretted at the time that South Africa had no captain and “the ship is sinking.”
This will be the first time that Ramaphosa’s leadership will come under scrutiny in Parliament via a vote of no confidence.
