The Western Cape High Court heard consolidated applications by #UniteBehind and others about Parliament’s Joint Committee on Ethics and Members’ Interests and complaints relating to several members of Parliament. The court dismissed the challenge to clauses in the old Code, refused leave to challenge the new Code, and set aside the Committee’s decisions to close the complaints against Mr Mbalula and Ms Magadzi. The review concerning Mr Zwane was dismissed as moot.
This appears to concern parliamentary ethics processes, confidentiality provisions, and review of Committee decisions.
