No MP was suspended for speaking out against Zuma and the same should apply for Dirks, says suspended ANC SG
Sunday Times Daily reported on Monday that Magashule lost another bid to have his party suspension set aside. He had petitioned the Supreme Court of Appeal after failing to persuade the Johannesburg high court to grant him leave to appeal last year.
He approached the SCA with the hope it would overturn the high court, which had upheld his suspension. Magashule also wanted the SCA to reverse the high court’s finding that there was nothing unconstitutional about the ANC’s “step-aside” resolution. Asked about his next move, Magashule said he would appeal the outcome in the high court.
“If you listened to the judge, justice Madlanga, yesterday when he was being interviewed, he made a point that sometimes the law is not that much about justice ... Sometimes, he says, you might take wrong decisions just because of the law, because it is not just justice, and he made a point also that it is the right of people to continue when they are not satisfied to appeal.
“Of course we will appeal to the highest court in the land, because what I was arguing was that the ANC constitution is not in line with the constitution of SA,” he said.
