‘ANC, Pemmy Majodiena Vows to lay charges of Gender-Based Violence Against Senegalese Djibril War during Pan African Parliament’

“I went in there to make peace, as I was trying to separate them. It was at that stage that I was attacked by honourable Djibril who is the chair of the rules, and he kicked me,” Majodiena.

According to news24, In an interview with the SABC, War denied intentionally kicking the South African MP.

“I had no intention of kicking her,” he said, adding that he was trying to kick a phone held by a Zimbabwean who was trying to take a picture of him.

The continental parliament was meant to elect a new president from among the MPs, but a dispute over the rotation of that position led to bitter disagreement.

Members of the southern African delegation proposed the rotation, aimed at giving each of the five regions a turn to lead the executive.

An ad-hoc committee was appointed to conduct the electoral process, but the committee’s presentation was interrupted before an election could take place.

The 4th Ordinary Session of the fifth Parliament of the Pan-African Parliament (PAP) kick started on 24 May 2021 at the PAP precincts in Midrand, South Africa under strict COVID-19 protocols.
