Can Parliament Remove Malema from JSC | Johannesburg News

The Helen Suzman Foundation is suing the National Assembly Speaker to force a review of Julius Malema’s fitness for the Judicial Service Commission, citing his history of attacking judges and arguing parliament must ensure its appointees are suitable—even without explicit removal rules. The Speaker insists she lacks constitutional authority to initiate such a recall, but the foundation counters that ignoring this duty would be absurd, pointing to past rulings that mandate parliamentary oversight. The court will decide whether the Speaker can be compelled to start a review process prompted by a private group, with Malema’s future on the JSC hanging in the balance.
