Court dismisses Judge Hlophe’s bid to have Gauteng division not hear review application
The presiding judge, Roland Sutherland noted the issue was raised in a letter but not in the affidavit.Sidaki referred to another matter heard in the Western Cape high Court, where an Eastern Cape judge presided because it concerned Hlophe’s attorney, Barnabas Xulu.
However, he said there was no merit on any grounds for inviting a member of another division to come hear the matter. “From these papers, it is demonstrable that the application against the president was premature. There is no urgency in the application against the Speaker.” The application by FUL to join the Part B of the application was postponed indefinitely, and would be addressed if it was either re-enrolled or argued at the same time as the main application.
