South Africa: Fired MK MPs appeal to court to reverse their expulsions

Ten of the 18 dismissed members of the uMkhonto Wesizwe (MK) party have approached the Western Cape Division of the High Court, seeking to reverse their recent expulsions from Parliament.

Shivambu and Mzwanele Manyi quit the EFF to join MK party last week.
