Zuma, Mbeki take Khampepe removal fight to ConCourt

JOHANNESBURG - Former presidents Jacob Zuma and Thabo Mbeki have approached the Constitutional Court to have TRC cases inquiry chairperson Justice Khampepe removed.

This follows a High Court ruling that cleared Khampepe to remain chair of the inquiry.

The judgment handed down electronically on 30 March said Mbeki and Zuma failed to get prior consent from the Chief Justice before instituting the review proceedings against Khampepe.

Zuma and Mbeki had challenged her role, alleging she failed to disclose past recommendations on TRC cases.

The Zuma Foundation argues the judgment is incomplete as a majority ruling was delivered without dissent.

It said justice cannot be served in pieces.

President Cyril Ramaphosa did not oppose the application.
