The decision was made on Thursday after MK brought an urgent application challenging Ramaphosa’s move to place Police Minister Senzo Mchunu on special leave and appoint Professor Firoz Cachalia in an acting role.

MK argued that the move was unconstitutional, flagging serious legal and procedural violations.
