Ntlemeza vs Mbalula: Standoff

[R13...]

I thought this bit was especially pertinent:

A good example of that is the whole furor over the secret ballot in parliament. Many people support the DA's support of a secret ballot but forget that in another case the DA wanted an open ballot because at that time it suited their motives.

It ultimately is all politics to some level.

Mbalula feels vindicated following court ruling on Ntlemeza.

Barry Bateman | about 4 hours ago
PRETORIA – As Police Minister Fikile Mbalula feels vindicated, Lieutenant-general Berning Ntlemeza will spend at least another two weeks at home before he gets another chance to argue why he should be permitted to return to work, but even that appears unlikely to happen. The High Court in Pretoria not only struck his application from the roll for lack or urgency but reaffirmed that earlier findings of impropriety permanently disqualifies him from serving as head of the Hawks.

Last month, a full bench of the court relied on 2015 findings that Ntlemeza lacked integrity and honour to review and set aside his appointment to the top post.

Judge Sheila Mphahlele reaffirmed the full bench’s finding against the lieutenant-general which limits his chances of ever being head of the Hawks again. “The court pointed out that the applicant’s dishonesty and lack of integrity permanently disqualified him from being appointed in public office.”

The judge says Ntlemeza’s appeal is set down for 2 June.
