Africa-Press – South-Africa. <\/strong><\/span>The uMkhonto weSizwe party has withdrawn the nomination of its parliamentary leader \u2013 John Hlophe \u2013 to serve on the Judicial Service Commission (JSC).<\/p>\n

The withdrawal comes shortly after the western cape high court made an interim ruling preventing Hlophe from serving on the JSC.<\/p>\n

The ruling came from an application filed by the da and freedom under law arguing that Hlophe cannot serve on the same body that recommended his impeachment as judge president earlier this year.<\/p>\n

On Saturday, the MK Party suffered another legal blow after the Johannesburg High Court dismissed the party\u2019s attempt to postpone Monday\u2019s JSC sitting.<\/p>\n

In a statement released on Monday, the MK Party says Hlophe will not be part of an improperly constituted commission.<\/p>\n

Hlophe was one of six National Assembly members designated to serve on the JSC.<\/p>\n

The MK Party has maintained if Hlophe fits the criteria to be a member of Parliament, then he should be able to serve on the JSC.<\/p>\n

It further said the votes of people who put Hlophe in Parliament have been undermined by the courts.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the DA has welcomed Hlophe\u2019s withdrawal from the JSC, saying the commission is now free of compromised people within it ranks<\/p>\n
