CAPE TOWN - There’s been an abrupt pause in a High Court case involving ten uMkhonto weSizwe Party members who are disputing their removal as parliamentarians.
The court has been told the party’s leader Jacob Zuma behaved in an autocratic manner when he summarily dismissed them last month. The ten are part of a larger group of 18, expelled by the party last month, and consequently losing their parliamentary seats.
