“Yes, her lawyers wrote to us to give a period to suspend or withdraw because they said our rules are unconstitutional.”
She said Mkhwebane's lawyers had objected to a number of issues in the new rules, including issues of conflict and that the rules do not give a right to reply.
Mkhwebane told journalists last week that the rules adopted by the National Assembly to regulate the removal from office of heads of Chapter 9 bodies were unconstitutional and invalid. She threatened to challenge their constitutionality in court. This was in reference to the EFF's threat to disrupt the proceedings unless public enterprises minister Pravin Gordhan was dismissed from his position.
