The urgent court matter between ANC MP Mervyn Dirks and the party was postponed to 11.30am to allow the state attorney to take instructions from President Cyril Ramaphosa and National Assembly speaker Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula.

It will also be heard virtually as the respondents’ lawyers were not available to attend a physical sitting of the high court in Cape Town on Tuesday morning.

The ANC intends to oppose Dirks’ urgent application to be reinstated in his positions as a member of the standing committee on public accounts , strategy committee and as its questions whip in the National Assembly. At that meeting, Dirks is expected to make his representations on the basis for his complaint, and for the committee to decide on the matter.
