This decision comes after the IFP-led Alfred Duma Local Municipality sought an interdict against this council sitting.
The court ruled that the decision by the MEC to call, convene and chair the council meeting be set aside, as it is inconsistent with the constitution and invalid. And that the ruling should serve as an interdict against the MEC and CoGTA from attempting to call any further council meetings in this regard.
