President Jacob Zuma must give reasons for firing former Finance Minister Pravin Gordhan and his deputy Mcebisi Jonas.
Judge Bashier Vally made the order in the North Gauteng High Court a short while ago.
Judge Vally also ordered that Zuma pay the DA’s legal costs.
The North Gauteng High Court heard arguments on Thursday afternoon in the matter brought by the Democratic Alliance to compel Zuma to supply his record of decision for his recent midnight cabinet reshuffle.
DA MP and Federal Executive Chairperson James Selfe said in a statement that he will be at the court to hear arguments in “our urgent application to compel President Jacob Zuma to supply his record of decision for his disastrous midnight cabinet reshuffle.”
