Parliament Welcomes Western Cape High Court Decision on EFF MPs’ Suspension Appeal

South Africa’s Parliament has expressed satisfaction with the Western Cape High Court’s decision to dismiss the application of six EFF Members of Parliament seeking to overturn their temporary suspension. The court’s ruling is connected to the state of the nation address last year when EFF leader Julius Malema, deputy president Floyd Shivambu, and four others ignored the speaker’s directive to leave the chamber after staging a protest on the stage. Parliament characterizes the EFF’s legal challenge as an abuse of process and reaffirms its commitment to maintaining order during significant events.
