HSF approaches Constitutional Court over reshuffle

The Helen Suzman Foundation (HSF) has lodged an application seeking the Constitutional Court to have President Jacob Zuma’s firing of former Finance Minister Pravin Gordhan and his deputy Mcebisi Jonas be declared invalid and set aside. The organisation said Zuma has established a pattern of “irrational and unlawful behaviour” through the Nkandla debacle and the firing of finance ministers, including Nhlanhla Nene back in 2015.
