Phumelela said that it was pleased to announce that a court order was granted in favour of the company on Tuesday, preventing Mkhwebane’s remedial action on the horse racing industry from being implemented until the review process has been finalised.
The public protector did not oppose the urgent interdict application in the North Gauteng High Court.
Phumelela chief executive John Stuart said although they were obviously pleased with the ruling, Phumelela wished to reiterate that the review process was still far from finalised.
“We maintain our stance that the company will not be giving further comment, issuing any statements, or participating in public debates detailing the ongoing review process until such time as the legal proceedings have been finalised,” Stuart said.
