Cape Town – Communications Minister Faith Muthambi will go to court to contest Parliament's SABC inquiry report, the ministry has said.
"I can confirm that the ministry intends to take the ad hoc committee report for a judicial review," ministry spokesperson Mish Molakeng told News24 on Friday.
Molakeng did not want to comment further on the matter, saying the minister's reasons would be made known once the process officially got underway.
The Star reported on Friday that Muthambi had written an explosive letter to Speaker Baleka Mbete to say she was taking the "irrational and unlawful" ad hoc committee report on review.
Muthambi reportedly wrote that she felt "ambushed" by the process, and that her constitutional rights had been violated.
She wanted the implementation of the inquiry's recommendations halted until the court makes a ruling, the report read.
