Show Notes
The MK Party, led by former President Jacob Zuma, has filed an urgent application in the Gauteng High Court to block former National Director of Public Prosecutions Shamila Batohi from receiving her pension and other post-term benefits. They also aim to reverse the funding for her legal costs from the Nkabinde Inquiry, alleging these payments could illegally drain public funds. The partys concern stems from Batohis behavior during the inquiry, where she left the stand abruptly while under oath, raising accusations of misconduct and misleading statements. The party worries about a lack of transparency in approving these payouts and the potential waste of taxpayer money. The respondents include President Cyril Ramaphosa, Batohi, the National Prosecuting Authority, and the Justice Minister. The hearing is scheduled soon, keeping this dispute in the spotlight.
