uMkhonto weSizwe Party leader Jacob Zuma will brief the media in Durban today.

He is expected to focus on the current political climate in the country.

This after the Western Cape High Court ruling yesterday that the National Assembly’s decision to designate party’s deputy president as a member of the Judicial Service Commission was invalid and unconstitutional.

The court ruled that the National Assembly may not designate Dr Hlophe to serve on the JSC in terms of Constitution.

It has ordered both Hlope and the MK Party to pay costs.

In February last year, the National Assembly voted to impeach Hlophe after the JSC found him guilty of gross misconduct.

Meanwhile. last week, Colleen Makhubele replaced Mzwanele Manyi who was removed as chief whip of the MK Party in Parliament.
