CAPE TOWN - The Economic Freedom Fighters have told the Western Cape High Court that the suspension of leader Julius Malema and five other members of Parliament is “unlawful”.
The party launched another last-ditch attempt to have the red berets' suspension lifted so that they can attend the State of the Nation Address on Thursday.The EFF was back before the court on Tuesday to launch another urgent application as it tries to get its leaders back in time for SONA.
He said the dominance of the majority is a “danger to constitutional good order”, and based on numbers the majority can do whatever it wants. Speaking outside court, EFF chairperson Ntombovuyo Mente said they’re confident the court will grant them relief like it did in the Nkandla protest. "And it was this particular court that said Parliament has no such right because members of Parliament are sent by the citizens and therefore, they do not have a right to remove members of Parliament."
