The ANC says it hopes that President Jacob Zuma will appeal Thursday's high court judgement ordering him to give reasons for his firing of Pravin Gordhan and other cabinet ministers. North Gauteng High court judge Bashir Vally has ordered president Zuma to disclose these reasons within 5 working days. The ANC has called the judgement a dangerous precedent. Party spokesperson Zizi Kodwa says the court's ruling disregarded the separation of powers between the judiciary, executive and legislative arms of government.
