The ANC blocked the establishment of an ad hoc committee to investigate the scandal surrounding a break-in at President Cyril Ramaphosa's Limpopo game farm Phala Phala.
After the motion, brought by DA chief whip Siviwe Gwarube, was debated in a mini-plenary of the National Assembly on Tuesday, a full plenary voted on the motion on Wednesday evening.
All the opposition parties present – DA, EFF, IFP, FF Plus, ACDP, UDM, ATM, and PAC – except GOOD, voted in favour of the motion.
But the ANC's majority, supplemented by GOOD's two votes, defeated the motion 199 to 126.
When the motion was debated the previous day, the ANC said a Section 89 process was under way, with an independent panel appointed to determine a prima facie case for Ramaphosa to answer, rendering the DA's motion superfluous.
