The High Court has stopped the CCC party from removing Senator Tshabangu from Parliament. This stay will remain in place until his case about being kicked out of the party is heard.
Senator Tshabangu asked the High Court for help. He named his party, the head of Parliament, and the Senate leader in his case.
His lawyers brought two matters to court. The first stops the CCC from acting against him. The second asks the court to make a statement about his rights.
Judge Mary Zimba-Dube wrote down a promise from the CCC. The party said it would not try to remove him or hurt his main court case. The Parliament head's lawyers agreed to this.
For the second matter, those named in the case must send their papers by March 4. Senator Tshabangu must answer by March 10. The court will hear the case on March 13.
Senator Tshabangu has named four people who threw him out of the party, plus the CCC itself. These four were on the team that kicked him out.
This order means Senator Tshabangu keeps his seat in Parliament for the time being. The final decision depends on what happens in court next month.
