Facts of the Case
Background
The applicant, claiming to be interim secretary general of CCC, sought a declaration that the party's 2019-elected office bearers' terms expired in May 2024 and that his subsequent expulsion by a disciplinary committee composed of those office bearers was null and void. The respondents raised preliminary objections on urgency, locus standi and merits, but the court upheld the applicant's preliminary objection that Welshman Ncube lacked authority to depose to the opposing affidavit.
