The Western Cape High Court is hearing an urgent application to halt a parliamentary inquiry into her fitness to hold office.

This comes after a DA motion calling for the inquiry was backed by Modise.

Dali Mpofu, who is representing Mkhwebane, has not only slammed the DA but accused the party of having a “vendetta” against his client. He’s also slammed Modise, claiming that she doesn't want parliamentary rules to be challenged.

“We have said that the Speaker and the attitude doesn’t leave a lot to be desired.”

But Judge Vincent Saldanha questioned Mkhwebane’s claims of a vendetta.

“You’ve spent a lot of time on this vendetta by the DA, which quite frankly is irrelevant.”

Mkhwebane is under fire after a number of high-profile court judgments against her but she has repeatedly denied that she’s incompetent.
