Following Agang’s MP's withdrawal of all allegations directly or indirectly made against former party leader, Dr Mamphela Ramphele in the Cape High Court today, Judge Dennis Davis gave members of AgangSA until Monday 14.00hrs to file opposing affidavits as to why Agang’s MP’s should not be expelled from Parliament.


This followed an interim inter​dict granted ​on 1​7th July by which the MP’s sought to prevent their expulsion on the basis of serious allegations made by them against Dr Ramphele. Having withdrawn their allegations today, thecourt will have to decide whether there ​is ​still a basis for the interim order as previously granted which prevents their expulsion​
Judge Davies also heard that 14 respondents to the matter had not been given reasonable time to respond. Two members of Agang’s NEC appeared in the Cape High Court today within minutes the matter being heard - Nameka Mguzulo and Yunus Vollenhoven. The Judge also said be made by him until it was established which was the legal National Executive Committee leading Agang in terms of its Constitution​, after agreeing to hear submissions from the convenor of Agang's Presidential Task Team, Merle ​O'Brien appointed by Dr Ramphele to investigate and report on the state of the party.
