Mpofu slams DA leader

Advocate Dali Mpofu has accused DA federal chair Helen Zille of hypocrisy for opposing former judge John Hlophe's participation in the Judicial Service Commission (JSC) interviews.

The uMkhonto weSizwe (MK) party's urgent application was heard in the High Court in Johannesburg yesterday.

The MK party is challenging the JSC's decision not to accept the party's request to postpone the interviews.

The JSC is set to begin interviews on Monday to fill vacancies in various courts, including the Constitutional Court and the Supreme Court of Appeal (SCA).

However, Hlophe will be excluded from the process after the DA and Corruption Watch obtained an interdict preventing him from participating.

The Western Cape High Court in Cape Town granted an interim order pending the outcome of a review application, which seeks to overturn parliament's decision to appoint Hlophe to the JSC.

According to the Constitution, the National Assembly must designate six MPs to represent it on the JSC.
