This followed an unexpected pause earlier on Tuesday, pending a possible out-of-court settlement.
CAPE TOWN - The case of ten uMkhonto weSizwe Party members who are seeking reinstatement as parliamentarians has resumed in the Western Cape High Court.But after the lunch break, the lawyer for the applicants, Simba Chitando, informed the court that no agreement could be reached during the pause.
MK Party lawyer, Nikiwe Nyathi, said talks to reach a settlement with the disgruntled group who were axed last month had been ongoing since last week. But in the absence of reaching a deal, proceedings are now continuing, with Chitando arguing the applicants and their dependents will be left destitute if they are forced out of parliamentary accommodation.
