The presidency has lost a bid for leave to appeal a court ruling that ordered the release of records relating to the cabinet reshuffle two years ago that saw Pravin Gordhan removed as minister of finance by then-president Jacob Zuma.

At the time, the SACP asserted that Zuma had used a document claiming to emanate from international intelligence to justify his recall of Gordhan from an international investor road show and to motivate the reshuffle.

When no record of decision was forthcoming, the DA approached the high court in Pretoria to compel Zuma to do so. The high court in May 2017 ordered Zuma to disclose the record. In its heads of argument, the DA had argued that the high court did not breach the separation of powers doctrine.

AfriForum's Ernst Roets off the hook for tweeting picture of old flagA bid to have AfriForum’s Ernst Roets held in contempt of court for tweeting a picture of the old South African flag was dismissed on Tuesday. Of course 🙄 That flag is as near as damnit, our version of a swastika. The failure, on all sides, to complete the TRC, leaves groups rather than guilty individuals, open to a possible race war and 'justifiable' genocide.
