Court subpoenas DA witnesses in 'racism' case.
Thulare instructed the clerk of the court to issue subpoenas to Steenhuisen, DA MP Zak Mbhele and two former staff members to appear before the court next month. Thulare also instructed that the station commissioner of the Cape Town police ensure they submit affidavits in two weeks' time in relation to Nel's complaint.
"They are currently not employed by the DA but they are employed by DA-led governments, and they are concerned about repercussions of them providing affidavits. They have both made it clear that they would cooperate with the courts," Nel told the court. "It's important to hear the chief whip about the version of events she presented to him at the time. It's important to learn what was she reprimanded for. One can't reprimand a person if they had done nothing wrong,” he said.
