This is a grey area which calls for Parliament’s attention. It, therefore, goes without saying although President Ramaphosa may have justified to correct the earlier statement he had made…he did mislead Parliament,” she said.

She said Ramaphosa should have allowed himself sufficient time to research on a well-informed response.
