MK Party faces off with President Cyril Ramaphosa in the ConCourt

Former President Jacob Zuma and the uMkhonto we Sizwe Party face off with President Cyril Ramaphosa and others in the Constitutional Court today over the President's three decisions related to Police Minister Senzo Mchunu's leave of absence. Zuma and the MK Party are challenging the lawfulness of the President's decision to place Mchunu on a leave of absence, the appointment of Professor Firoz Cachalia as the Acting Minister of Police as well as the decision to establish a Judicial Commission of Inquiry. The inquiry was established to probe the allegations made by Lieutenant General Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi of collusion between organised crime syndicates and public office bearers, which implicates a number of people, including Mchunu. Zuma and the MK Party, however, will argue before the apex court that the said decisions are unlawful and irrational and that there is "no empowering provision for the President to place a Minister on leave of absence".
