Winnie: Judgment reserved
2003-04-14 15:35
Cape Town - Judgment was reserved in the Cape High Court on Monday in a case in which ANC MP Winnie Madikizela-Mandela seeks to stop National Assembly Speaker Frene Ginwala from publicly reprimanding her.
Madikizela-Mandela was earlier this month granted an urgent interdict which prevented Ginwala from publicly reprimanding her in parliament for contravening parliament's code of conduct.
The reprimand was recommended by parliament's joint committee on ethics and members interests and was adopted by Parliament.
The committee last year found Madikizela-Mandela guilty of not disclosing about R55 000 a month in donations.
The existence of the donations emerged during bail proceedings when Madikizela-Mandela appeared on fraud charges in October 2001.
Madikizela-Mandela was not present in court on Monday.
