Parliament ‘obligated’ to remove Malema from JSC if not fit and proper, court told

It would be “absurd” to suggest the National Assembly cannot initiate a process to review EFF leader Julius Malema’s suitability as a member of the Judicial Service Commission (JSC), the Helen Suzman Foundation is arguing in court papers.

In opposing the application, Didiza argues the constitution and parliament rules have no provision empowering her to initiate a process for Malema’s possible recall from the JSC.

The organisation’s case is that Malema’s conduct throughout his years as a JSC member has been contrary to his responsibility of upholding the integrity of the judiciary.
