The Democratic Alliance threw a curveball at the start of Wednesday’s interviews for South Africa’s next NDPP, with Justice Minister Mmamoloko Kubayi revealing the party’s lawyers had threatened an urgent court interdict to stop the process. Kubayi dismissed the move as “misguided,” saying the urgency was “self-inflicted” and that government lawyers would respond. The DA reportedly wants advocate Menzi Simelane removed from the shortlist, even as the panel prepares to submit final names to President Cyril Ramaphosa before Advocate Shamila Batohi’s term ends next month. Legal expert Mpumelelo Zikalala joins Phemelo to make sense of the latest developments. Kayafm
