POLITICAL WEEK AHEAD: Courts have hands full with Hlaudi and nuclear challenge
Two arms of the state will try and grapple with governance issues at the SABC this week. Environmental groups will make a bid to halt the government’s new nuclear build procurement process, while the National Union of Metalworkers of SA (Numsa) prepares to elect new leaders. The High Court in Cape Town is expected to hand down judgment on Monday in an application brought by the DA to remove SABC executive Hlaudi Motsoeneng from his position at the broadcaster. Motsoeneng and Mbulaheni Maguvhe, the SABC board chairman and last remaining nonexecutive board member, continue to fight to remain at the state broadcaster despite a mounting pile of mostly unfavourable court orders. President Jacob Zuma on Friday issued a statement wishing "to remind public servants and persons serving in state-owned entities that they are all required to respect Parliament and abide by oversight requirements of Parliament at all times, without any exception".
