# Parliament’s Joint Committee on Ethics and Members’ Interests has resolved that the complaints lodged against MK Party’s David Mandla Skosana and the DA’s Dean Macpherson have merit. Skosana has been found guilty of breaching ethics for undisclosed business interests and intimidating a female journalist. Macpherson was found to have breached the ethics code for calling ActionSA supporters “amaphara”, a term commonly used to describe criminals, drug addicts and social parasites. The committee has made recommendations as to appropriate sanctions for consideration by both houses of Parliament.
