She was speaking as she was about to be sworn in as a new member of the Pan African Parliament.

Thandi Modise has a very clear view of her future.

“I am and wish to continue to be chairperson of the National Council of Provinces and I am about tone sworn in as a member of the Pan African Parliament,” she says.

She says if she very much doubts reports she’s  about to be redeployed in North West Province because if this were so the ANC would surely have told her not to be sworn in at the PAP.

Modise becomes one of five South Africans on the 255-member continental body starting the sixth session of its fourth parliament today.

The others include Julius Malema and Mandla Mandela.
