The Electoral Court has ruled that a full inquiry will be heard into an application seeking the resignation of IEC chairwoman Pansy Tlakula.
Judge Lotter Wepener says they're of the opinion that the matter needs further clarity.
The court, sitting in the High Court in Johannesburg, will hear the enquiry at 10am on Friday.
Judge Wepener said this would give Tlakula sufficient time to file the necessary affidavit.
The court hear an application by opposition parties yesterday (Tues) to have Tlakula resign as Electoral Commission of SA (IEC) chairwoman ahead of the May 7 national elections.
The application follows a forensic investigation by the national Treasury on the procurement of the IEC's Riverside Office Park
building in Centurion, Pretoria.
The probe found the process was neither fair, transparent, nor cost-effective. It found Tlakula did not give guidance or formally
inform various people what was expected of them in the process.
