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.
17 March 10:39 Judge Cassim Sardiwalla reserves judgment on the CR17 case.
He says he will hand down judgment in the case, which he says is of great
public interest , will be handed down in due course.

Semenya argues that donating to the CR17 campaign was not
something embarrassing and that disclosure of the identities of donors
cannot be said to be something that threatens their inner sanctum
of privacy.
Comment: at the time that the identities of certain donors
and CR17 recipients were disclosed in the media, prior to the sealing of the
CR17 records, several were accused of corruption and subjected to social media
