The Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) have filed an application for leave to appeal Acting Judge Cassim Sardiwalla's ruling that it had no right to seek the unsealing of President Cyril Ramaphosa's CR17 bank statements. Gauteng High Court in Pretoria Deputy Judge President Aubrey Ledwaba sealed the records in 2019, after Ramaphosa's lawyers asked that they not be made publicly available because they contained confidential donor information.
