The ATM approached the Western Cape High Court to try and have the motion dealt with through a secret ballot.
Mandy Wiener on the Midday Report chats to ATM spokesperson Sibusiso Mncwabe to give us a reaction on the postponement.
The Western Cape High Court judge gave us dates in February to listen to our matter but after speaking to all parties, it was decided that the matter should be postponed pending the hearing by the court next year.

The motion of no confidence was postponed as a matter of legal principle but all parties agreed to the postponement, he says.
Our motion is not frivolous, if it was the matter would have been dismissed clearly by the court.
