What this means

This is a media statement from the Speaker of the KwaZulu-Natal Legislature (Hon. N.N.

The Court interdicts the KwaZulu-Natal Legislature from giving effect to an NFP communication seeking to remove Hon. Shinga, prohibits actions leading to her removal, and suspends the decision underlying the dispute. The Court also directs restoration of the status quo ante if any removal steps were already taken; the Legislature confirms that status quo ante has been restored and that Hon. C.M. Shinga remains a member. The Speaker states the Legislature will comply with the Court order and uphold the rule of law.
