Executive must consider appealing Cabinet reshuffle ruling - ANC

Pretoria - The executive should consider appealing Thursday's high court ruling instructing President Jacob Zuma to hand over documents he used to justify his Cabinet reshuffle, the ANC said.

While the party respected and supported the judiciary, it was up to Zuma and his executive to decide whether or not to reveal his reasons, spokesperson Zizi Kodwa said.

Arguing against the DA's application for access to the documents, Zuma's lawyers had told the High Court in Pretoria that he was exercising his powers in terms of section 91(2) of the Constitution and that he made an executive decision that deserved protection from disclosure.

Kodwa said the ANC respected the independence of the judiciary and the doctrine of the separation of powers. "Hence we think that the executive should consider appealing the ruling”.
