ActionSA's parliamentary chief whip, Lerato Ngobeni, wants the joint constitutional review committee to address what it calls 'contradictions' in the standards applied to public office eligibility.
CAPE TOWN - ActionSA has written to Speaker Thoko Didiza and Parliament to urgently deal with the implications of an interdict preventing the uMkhonto weSizwe Party's John Hlophe from serving on the Judicial Service Commission .
This comes after the Western Cape High Court last week temporarily interdicted Hlophe’s participation in the JSC’s interviews scheduled for next week. Ngobeni writes that on the one hand, Hlophe’s election to Parliament “should signify his competence and ability to represent South Africans,” while on the other hand, the judgment questions his fitness for the JSC.
