ANC spokesperson Loyiso Magqashela speaks about the party's position on the scathing Public Protector report which implicates the premier and MECs.
Mabuyane’s court action was two-pronged. In part A, he sought an interim order suspending the implementation of the remedial action taken by the public protector pending the finalisation of the relief sought in part B, in which he wants the public protector’s report reviewed and set aside.
