ANC MPs Ben Turok and Gloria Borman’s disciplinary action has shown how flawed South Africa’s electoral system is.

More of the ruling party members who were absent when the Protection of State Information Bill was passed could face a disciplinary committee.

While it’s not clear what action the ANC will take against Ben Turok and Gloria Borman , history shows that those who defy the party do not last long.

The ANC has threatened disciplinary action against its own MPs who did not vote for the passing of the controversial Protection of Information Bill.
