The Western Cape High Court in Cape Town is currently hearing urgent applications brought by the Democratic Alliance and other organisations, including Freedom Under Law .
“These are not the right proceedings for the part B application. I don’t think I have to explain to the court the absurdity of the notion that you have a part B application being heard before part A because part A is pending part B,” he said.Baqwa reminded Mpofu that all parties involved in the case had the right to present their arguments, as they had been formally admitted to the proceedings.
“Now we have to listen to an argument on part B of the application. Mr Mpofu is correct,” Masuku said.Speaking to the media before the proceedings began, Zille, accompanied by DA supporters, affirmed that the party respects the right of political parties to nominate representatives to the JSC.
