MK party files urgent papers to interdict Hlophe's JSC decision: Kevin Smith

The uMkhonto weSizwe Party has filed urgent papers in the Gauteng High Court in Johannesburg to interdict the October Judicial Service Commission sitting. This after its request to postpone the sitting was not acceded to. The JSC resolved to continue with the sitting scheduled to take place from the 7th until the 11th of October 2024 without the MK's Dr John Hlophe, citing that the JSC remains lawfully composed and that Hlophe's absence would NOT render the JSC's decisions or processes unlawful. Hlophe has been temporarily interdicted from participating in the JSC pending the review of his designation to the Commission. Legal analyst Kevin Smith joins us via video link to weigh in on this interdict. For more news, visit sabcnews.com and #SABCNews on all Social Media platforms.
