Norton legislator, Temba Mliswa has called for minimum qualifications for legislators saying without a set criteria, the national assembly will continue to be a circus.
Mliswa who is no stranger to provocative remarks especially on social media urged Zimbabweans to reflect on the people they chose to represent them charging that some of the behaviors of parliamentarians is indicative of lack of capacity.
2/We need to reflect on people we choose to represent us as such behaviour is indicative of a lack of capacity. Hence I reiterate that there must be a provision for minimum education levels for one to stand as a legislator. For as long as there’s no criteria it’ll be a circus
