EFF STATEMENT ON RECENT UNWARRANTED ATTACKS ON THE JUDICIARY
Thursday, May 11, 2017
The EFF rejects the recent wave of statements from the Gupta faction of the ANC openly and unfairly attacking the judiciary for fulfilling its Constitutional mandate.
The illiterate response of the ANC means that it does not understand the democratic Constitution it claims to have brought to South Africa. This confirms our suspicions that in its desperation for political power, the ANC merely signed our land away without even reading the document.
Even a grade 1 child would not struggle to understand the meaning of section 2 of the Constitution which says, "This Constitution is the supreme law of the Republic. All law or conduct inconsistent with it is invalid and the obligations imposed by it must be fulfilled."
Needless to say, one of the obligations imposed by our Constitution is the rule of law and the rationality test. Simply put, one cannot test the rationality of executive decisions without looking into the reasoning followed when those decisions were taken.
