DA files court papers over motion


The Democratic Alliance has filed for an urgent interdict to allow the motion of no confidence against President Jacob Zuma to be debated in the National Assembly.

DA Parliamentary leader, Lindiwe Mazibuko says the party will never allow the ANC to defeat the aims of constitutional democracy.

She says that is why she filed papers at the Western Cape High Court to seek an urgent interdict to compel the Speaker of the National Assembly to uphold the constitutional right of the opposition to have this motion debated.

Mazibuko was speaking at the DA's Gauteng North Regional annual general meeting in Tshwane.

She said the African National Congress was blocking the motion of no confidence against Zuma because it was scared that its own members would vote against him.
