The Constitutional Court on Thursday reserved judgement on the case of a motion of no confidence against President Jacob Zuma.  

The judiciary and legislature are separate from government as outlined in the Constitution.

The Democratic Alliance wants the Constitutional Court to overrule a 2012 Western Cape High Court decision against their application. 

DA Spokesperson in the Parliamentary Leader’s office Siviwe Gwarube said that they had made their case that Members of Parliament have the right to the motion of no confidence, having debated in the reasonable time frame and not be subject to any form of political interference.

“We will no await a decision from the Constitutional Court” Gwarube added.
