Mkhwebane then approached the Constitutional Court arguing that the high court order was “granted erroneously and is bad in law” and that it will “create unbearable conditions for the effective functioning of the public protector”. The matter is due to be heard on Thursday. In another legal battle, the Pietermaritzburg High Court will deliver its judgment on former president Jacob Zuma’s appeal application on Friday.
Meanwhile, Johannesburg mayor Herman Mashaba officially steps down from his position on Wednesday. In his resignation speech shortly after the election of former party leader Helen Zille to chair the DA’s federal council, Mashaba was at pains to point out that Zille’s election represented a victory for people who stood “diametrically” opposed to his beliefs.
James Selfe, the DA’s head of the governance unit, said on Sunday the party will be fielding a capable and experienced candidate, Funzela “Funzi” Ngobeni.
