The dismissal of the EFF’s latest urgent application to compel Parliament to allow its leaders to attend SONA is their third defeat in the courts in a week.

CAPE TOWN - The Western Cape High Court has dismissed the Economic Freedom Fighters 's urgent application to have Julius Malema and five other MPs attend the State of the Nation Address on Thursday evening.

The EFF had argued that it was their right to peacefully protest during last year's SONA and the sanctions by the powers and privileges committee and the National Assembly were unlawful. But high court judge Kate Savage stated in her ruling that the EFF should have taken the opportunity after the matter was struck off the roll the first time last week, to reconsider its position afresh.
