Khusela Diko delayed with flight. Agenda to be changed. Questions about Starlink to now be at the end of the session while they wait for her.

There is no rush really. What is few hours/days of delay between friends.
 

The Cape Town High Court has dismissed EFF leader Julius Malema’s legal challenge to overturn a parliamentary decision that found him to have violated parliament’s code of ethics during a Judicial Service Commission (JSC) meeting.

In April 2021, Malema interviewed Judge Elias Matojane for judicial appointments while serving as a commissioner on the JSC.

He cited a 2019 court decision in which Matojane declared that the EFF must reimburse the former finance minister R500,000 for defamation.


The matter was still before the Constitutional Court at the time of the JSC meeting.

According to the judgment, Malema acknowledged that he had a personal interest in the case but asked Matojane why he had awarded such damages without oral evidence being heard.

The Council for the Advancement of the South African Constitution (Casac) lodged a complaint with parliament, saying Malema had used the JSC platform to advance his personal interests.
