The Congress of the People’s Lekota-faction has replaced the expelled Mbhazima Shilowa as Member of Parliament with Graham McIntosh.

Spokesperson Philip Dexter says McIntosh is an experienced politician who has served as an MP before.

At a meeting in Johannesburg yesterday, several other Cope members, including Mluleki George were also expelled for bringing the party into disrepute.

The meeting also resolved to recover the funds spent on legal cases from those who have been ordered by courts to pay costs.
