The MK Party Youth League (MKPYL) notes the application by the Afriforum seeking direct access to the Constitutional Court on an urgent basis. We note in that such an application by Afriforum is baseless, vexatious and irrational and is a desperate attempt to throw the spanner in the grinding wheels of justice and more particularly neoliberal quartet perpetuation of animosity and pure jealousy in the person of Dr John Hlophe.
The Afriforum mandate from its masters is to destabilise and weaken the momentum of the MK Party in Parliament as the official opposition party. It is noteworthy to mention that the National Assembly in designating Dr Hlophe to the Judicial Service Commission(JSC), acted within its rules and constitutional mandate, and the contention that such an appointment was “irrational, unlawful, unreasonable, invalid and thus inconsistent with the Constitution” cannot be said to be holding any water in an open and democratic society.
Only reasonable inference to be drawn and consistent with the founding affidavit by Afriforum through Kallie Kriel is one of seeking and persuading the Constitutional Court to dictate to the National Assembly how to exercise its own constitutional mandate in terms of section 165 (3) & (4) and thus the National Assembly could not be said to have acted ultras vires in the appointment of Dr Hlophe.
