Jacob Zuma and the MK party are seeking to invalidate President Cyril Ramaphosa’s decision to place Senzo Mchunu on a leave of absence and appoint Feroz Cachalia.
An intense battle is playing out in the Constitutional Court as the MK party and its leader, former president Jacob Zuma, challenge President Cyril Ramaphosa.
This follows Ramaphosa’s decision to place Minister of Police Senzo Mchunu on special leave and appoint Wits law professor Feroz Cachalia as acting police minister.
Zuma said Ramaphosa “openly dodges” the clear distinction between the power to appoint a minister and the different power to appoint an acting minister.
The apex court has agreed to hear the matter on Wednesday, 30 July.
