Concourt to rule on JZ no confidence motion


The Constitutional Court will hand down judgment on Tuesday on an application for a motion of no confidence in President Jacob Zuma to be debated in Parliament.

Democratic Alliance Parliamentary leader, Lindiwe Mazibuko, supported by seven other opposition parties, tabled the motion last year.

However, National Assembly Speaker, Max Sisulu later adjourned a programming committee meeting without the debate being scheduled, on the basis that no consensus had been reached.

The DA took the matter to the Western Cape High Court where it was dismissed by Judge Dennis Davis.

But, because the rules of the National Assembly did not make provision for no confidence debates, Davis could not tell Sisulu when and where the debate should be heard.
