Parliament says it will abide by the court's decision in the matter involving MP John Hlophe from MK
The Democratic Alliance , Freedom Under Law and Corruption Watch are asking the Western Cape High Court sitting in Cape Town to prevent the designation of Hlophe to serve in the Judiciary Service Commission .
Senior Counsel Adila Aassim, representing the Speaker of the National Assembly Thoko Didiza, told the court that the institution intends not to oppose the applications. “And the first thing she does is to place the matter into context. This is an unprecedented case because it arises from an unprecedented removal of the Judge. This has been Dr Hlophe by the National Assembly and the National Assembly had no fault in excising its powers as they are envisaged prior to this.
