National Assembly Speaker Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula gave feedback on Thursday about Parliament's presiding officer's meeting with Chief Justice Raymond Zondo. Zondo, who was not present at the event on Thursday, angered Mapisa-Nqakula when he remarked last week he held no hope Parliament would be able to stop state capture if it happened again.
President Cyril Ramaphosa has suspended Gauteng High Court judges Tshifhiwa Maumela and Nomonde Mngqibisa-Thusi. Maumela and Mngqibisa-Thusi will be allowed to finalise all matters that are present before them. Maumela is presiding over the Senzo Meyiwa murder trial.
A Gqeberha woman accused of allegedly abducting a five-day-old baby last year appeared in the New Brighton Magistrate's Court on Thursday. The baby was found alive on Tuesday, seven months after the kidnapping. That's it for today.
Have a restful evening.
Regards,
Adriaan
