Take a look at Niehaus' video below:
Below are just a few of the responses the video received:
@RamboDzhutshu said:
"If the DA is correct in terms of narrative and constitution it shouldn't be a problem. If my glorious movement for Ace and Carl is wrong I will never support their agenda. The ANC is divided because of the losing RET."
@JanParra11 wrote:
"Eish this guy. What does "in good standing" mean?"
@Mapula79005010 tweeted:
"I'll take you seriously when you say NO TO CORRUPTION, NOT IN MY NAME."
@thembelihle_l shared:
"The ANC voting with the DA, a shameful history. The ANC openly in bed with the enemy, every moment has its own surprise, we grow every day either positively or negatively."

"You’re becoming a loose cannon, Carl. The ANC shouldn’t allow these destructive self-serving tendencies."
Previously, Briefly.co.za reported that ANC Secretary-General Ace Magashule commended the MPs who did not vote on the matter. On Thursday, 18 March, Magashule said the party MPs made the right decision by refusing to vote or even attending the meeting.
He added that MPs will not face any repercussions for refusing to participate. Reports say around 62 MPs did not attend the vote on Tuesday, 16 March, and the reasoning has not yet been made public.
Speaking to GagasiFM, a Durban radio station, Magashule stated that the MPs did the right thing by refusing to "sleep with the enemy".
