Former speaker Thandi Modise’s refusal to allow MPs to vote in secret on a motion of no confidence against President Cyril Ramaphosa was not rational, the SCA held
Former president Jacob Zuma’s bill owed to Public Protector Busisiwe Mkhwebane for her office’s legal costs in the battle over her predecessor Thuli Madonsela’s state of capture report must still be determined. The ConCourt struck the matter off the roll with costs.
ZUMA DEALT ANOTHER BLOW!
FORMER president Jacob Zuma’s financial legal woes have worsened.
This comes after the Constitutional Court on Thursday, 27 May struck off the roll his application to appeal a court order.
The order stated he should foot the legal bill estimated between R6 and R10 million emanating from his legal challenge for the establishment of the inquiry into state capture.
The establishment of the state capture inquiry was part of the remedial actions recommended by former public protector Advocate Thuli Madonsela, just before her term of office expired.
Zuma took the matter to court, arguing that as state president, he had the prerogative to establish a commission of inquiry. He lost and the high court ruled he should pay costs from his pocket.
