The Constitutional Court dealt with an application for confirmation of a High Court order that had declared sections 21(4), 22, 23 and 24(1) of the KwaZulu-Natal Traditional Leadership and Governance Act 5 of 2005 inconsistent with the Constitution and invalid. The Court did not confirm that order and replaced part of the High Court's order with a dismissal of the counter-application. The order also states that the second applicant must approach the High Court within one month from the date of the order to have the conditional counter-application set down for hearing.
This appears to concern the process described in the judgment for misconduct inquiries and removal of a traditional leader under the KwaZulu-Natal statute.
