Edna Edna Edna...the whole motivation behind the secret ballot is not to deprive the public of transparency or accountability but to deprive those parliamentarians who would otherwise seek to influence their colleagues in voting in, shall we say, a certain way. All too often in parliament there's almost a war cry that goes out of "Noo" when it comes to their turn to vote on the latest impeachment bid and the Zuma-philes check their colleagues screens. So you can't tell me there's no pressure coming from the ANC side of the house for certain members to vote in a certain way. Besides, all your postulating and spinning aside, if the constitutional court says a secret ballot must be held it must be held. This piece smacks of fear that your benefactor will be deposed. Go back to uBaba and tell him that we aren't buying your little "ghost written" deposition.
