The EFF moves in court to have the election of ANC MP Mzimasi Hala declared unlawful, contesting the process used to replace a previous parliament defence committee co-chairperson.
The party argues the replacement procedure was “illegal process,” framing its challenge as a matter of how parliamentary leadership positions are filled rather than the individual’s qualifications. The dispute arises after the EFF previously called for Malusi Gigaba’s removal amid corruption-related allegations, and then shifts to questioning the subsequent steps taken to install Hala.
While the outlets report the EFF’s effort to overturn or nullify the election, they do not present additional details from other sources about the exact legal grounds, whether any court action has yet been heard, or how the ANC and parliamentary leadership respond to the challenge. The coverage therefore centers on the procedural dispute raised by the EFF, with the broader political context provided mainly through the party’s earlier stance on Gigaba.
