EXPERTS: 'LITTLE CHANCE OF SUCCESSFUL APPEAL'
Brian Sokutu

Mkhonto weSizwe (MK) party's only option to have one of its party members appointed to the Judicial Service Commission (JSC) is to field another candidate, say experts.

This was after the Western Cape High Court in Cape Town dismissed an application by MK deputy president John Hlophe for leave to appeal an interim order preventing him from being a member of the JSC.

The experts ruled out any chance of success if Hlophe appealed.

Hlophe had been forbidden from participating in any JSC activities, pending a review of the National Assembly's decision to appoint him to the body.

Joined by Freedom Under Law and Corruption Watch, the DA later approached the Western Cape High Court in Cape Town to review parliament's decision to designate Hlophe to the JSC.

In September, a full bench ruled in favour of the DA, Freedom under Law and Corruption Watch.

The MK party's urgent application in the High Court in Johannesburg to halt JSC interviews until Hlophe could be part of them, failed.
