Premier Oscar Mabuyane has succeeded in his Part A application to interdict the Special Investigating Unit from pursuing its investigation against him in respect of allegations of academic fraud at the University of Fort Hare.
On Tuesday, judge Thandi Norman interdicted the SIU from enforcing a proclamation signed by President Cyril Ramaphosa in August 2022, insofar as it pertains to Mabuyane.
The interdict will be in force pending Part B of Mabuyane's application to have the SIU investigation against him declared unconstitutional and invalid.
