The Congress of the People (Cope) will be there to support the “country's highly cherished constitution‚ the chapter nine institutions‚ and for the embattled public protector”. Cope‚ however‚ said nothing of supporting the two opposition political parties – the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) and the Democratic Alliance (DA) – whose cases its president‚ Mosiuoa Lekota and “a strong contingent of senior party leaders and members” will be at the Constitutional Court on Tuesday to hear.The Constitutional Court will hear arguments from the EFF and DA in connection with Public Protector Thuli Madonsela’s report on upgrades to President Jacob Zuma’s Nkandla homestead.Both want the court to order Zuma to implement Madonsela’s directives‚ including paying back a portion of the costs for non-security upgrades.“Tomorrow’s case is not about whether President Zuma must pay back a portion of the money spent on his private property at Nkandla‚” said Cope’s Dennis Bloem.“It is about an issue infinitely bigger than that. It has to do with the centrality of the Constitution in the governance of South Africa and the vital role of chapter nine institutions. The supremacy of the constitution must remain in tact and inviolable.“The public protector has to have real power to protect ordinary South Africans against pushy politicians seeking to destroy our constitutionally guaranteed safeguards.“Remedial actions proposed by the public protector cannot be ignored wilfully ignored by those in power because they are against them. If those powers are rendered ineffectual‚ politicians would become untouchable and corrupt to the very core.” Bloem said the party urged “civil society organisations‚ community organisations and religious formations to make their presence felt at the Constitutional Court” on Tuesday.“We the people of South Africa must stand steadfastly united in defence of our Constitution.”..
