Johannesburg - The EFF has remained defiant that the North Gauteng High Courtâs Deputy Judge President Aubrey Ledwaba was wrong to seal the CR17 funding documents in his chambers.
The EFF through its counsel advocate Ishmael Semenya made the submission to Judge Cassim Sardiwalla on Wednesday while replying to advocate Wim Trengove SC, counsel for CR17 funding committee, Ria Tenda Trust and Linkd Environmental Services.
Trengove told the court that Ledwaba sealed the documents on August 15, 2019.
âIn October 2019, President Cyril Ramaphosa agreed that lawyers for several organisations including the public protector must have access to these documents but must exercise confidentiality. The EFF was also given access to these documents which included the reasons for Deputy Judge President to seal the documents.
