The African Transformation Movement (ATM) is set to be  back in the high court in Cape Town today, in what will be day 2 of the proceedings. This comes as the party is requesting that the decision to not grant a secret ballot on the Section 89 report against President Cyril Ramaphosa last year, be set aside.

Following the decision made by National Assembly Speaker Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula, to not grant a secret ballot on the Section 89 report against President Cyril Ramaphosa in December last year, the ATM has taken the matter to court to have this decision set aside.

According to the party, the rejection of the secret ballot saw African National Congress (ANC) members of Parliament being under threat of internal disciplinary action if they did not reject the report.

The ATM has since appeared in court yesterday, with Advocate Anton Katz being its representative. According to Katz the Speaker of the National Assembly was in the habit of rejecting requests for a secret ballot.

Meanwhile, the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) hopped on the ATM's bandwagon, with

EFF legal counsel, advocate Mfesane Ka-Siboto criticising the Speaker's decision as well. 

Despite this, Mapisa-Nqakula's legal representative has rejected their arguments adding that Nqakula exercised her power at her discretion.
