Cape Town - Speaker Baleka Mbete and the EFF have agreed she will not immediately proceed with plans to suspend its MPs.
The chairperson of Parliament's powers and privileges committee, Lemias Mashile says lawyers for the Speaker and the Economic Freedom Fighters have agreed that the Speaker will not proceed.
Mbete, who was widely expected to ask the National Assembly at its next sitting on Tuesday to suspend the EFF members, has now deferred the matter to the committee.
In a letter to the committee, she asked that it report back to her with its recommendations urgently.
