#FirstThingsFirst - Zizi Kodwa resignation a surprise

Loading player...
Corruption accused former sports, arts and culture minister Zizi Kodwa has resigned with immediate effect as an ANC member of the National Assembly. Was this development a surprise for you? Is it the end of the road for him as a politician or will he resurface somewhere like Malusi Gigaba when all this has died down? Was he pushed through the ANC’s step aside rule or his conscience caught up with him? Why did he go there in the first place? Do you think the party was looking for loopholes to overcome his corruption allegations? Does this redeem the party in your eyes? Those are questions the team and listeners navigated to make sense of this move by Zizi Kodwa.
