The second was against the executive action by Zuma to discharge him, ostensibly relying on the board's findings and recommendations that Cele was unfit to hold office as the country's top cop.
Although there was no hearing of Cele's application, a two-page draft order produced on Tuesday declared that the report, findings and recommendations made by the board of inquiry have been reviewed and set aside. The order also said that without reinstating Cele into his position as commissioner, the decision by the president to discharge Cele, contained in a letter dated June 5 2012, was declared invalid and of no force and effect.
Cele's spokesperson, Reneilwe Serero, said on Tuesday that Cele had always maintained that the board of inquiry's findings - that he was"dishonest" and acted"in conflict of interest" and"in breach of section 38 of the Public Finance Management Act of 1999" - were irrational, biased, lacked credence and defied logic.
"The fight against crime continues, and I remain even more committed to work with the police to combat, prevent and investigate crime in our country - thus creating a safe and secure South Africa, where all the inhabitants are and feel safe," said Cele.
