Obey the rules, Ethics Committee warns MPs
Cape Argus
|December 18, 2025
THE Ethics Committee has issued a stern warning to MPs regarding their obligations under the Code of Ethical Conduct.
The warning came following the adoption of five committee reports by the National Council of Provinces (NCOP) yesterday, exposing a disturbing trend of misconduct among some parliamentarians.
Co-chairperson Joseph Britz emphasised that the integrity of Parliament requires members to uphold the highest ethical standards, warning that persistent disregard for the code will lead to harsher penalties.
"The committee has resolved to initiate a comprehensive review of the Code of Ethical Conduct and members' interests. This review will focus on strengthening enforcement mechanisms, adopting provisions relating to visual conduct, and enhancing deterrence for repeated violations," Britz said.
He stated that the details of the public participation process are set to be announced in early 2026.
