3.2. 3.3. 3.3.1. 33.2. 3.4. 3.5. 3.6. (b) amember of a Commission must be adopted with a supporting vote of a majority of the members of the Assembly. (3) The President- (a) may suspend a person from office at any time after the start of the proceedings of a committee of the National Assembly for the removal of that person; and (b) must remove a person from office upon adoption by the Assembly of the resolution calling for that person's removal.” Second, as your letter notes, the Presidential Minute states that | suspended you “pending the finalisation of the proceedings/inquiry initiated by the Committee of the National Assembly established in terms of section 194 of the Constitution”. Third, now that the Committee has adopted its report, the proceedings which were initiated by the Committee will be finalised either when the National Assembly does not adopt a resolution calling for your removal from office; or if the National Assembly does adopt such a resolution, when | act in terms of section 194(3)(b) of the Constitution. Fourth, it is therefore patently clear that the process initiated by the Committee is not completed (as your letter suggests) when the enquiry by the Committee has been finalised. Fifth, the ordinary (and well-established) rules of interpretation must be applied in interpreting the Presidential Minute and my letter. They must be interpreted by attributing meaning to the words which are used “having regard to the context provided by reading the particular provision or provisions in the light of the document as a whole and the circumstances attendant upon its coming into existence.” As the courts have made clear, consideration must be given to the language used “in the light of the ordinary rules of grammar and syntax; the context in which the provision appears; the apparent purpose to which it is directed and the material known to those responsible for its production.” (Natal Joint Municipal Pension Fund v Endumeni Municipality 2012 (4) SA 593 (SCA) at par 18). Further, “A sensible meaning is to be preferred to one that leads to insensible or unbusinesslike results or undermines the apparent purpose of the document.” The effect of your interpretation is to uplift a suspension midway through the section 194 process. That would be entirely inconsistent with the rules of interpretation. It would be insensible, it would be unbusinesslike, and it would undermine the purpose of the document. That was not and could not have been my intention. Sixth, | record that | have not been informed of any resolution having been taken by the National Assembly as contemplated by section 194(2) of the Constitution. The National Assembly has therefore not yet completed its part of the process.
