5. The Commission appeared before the Committee 19 October 2011 requesting that the matter be held in abeyance pending the finalisation of the appeal. The Supreme Court of Appeal dismissed Mr Dumani's appeal with costs on 30 November 2012. The Commission advised the Committee accordingly and, on 7 December 2012, requested that Mr Dumani's matter no longer be held in abeyance. It remains of the view that the Minister's decision to suspend Mr Dumani, taken in September 2011, still stands.
