Facts of the Case
Background
The applicant, Alexander Mukwindidza, was served with a notice of disciplinary hearing in October 2020 for alleged improper association. The hearing was scheduled for 18 November 2020 but postponed due to COVID-19. The applicant requested additional documents and raised COVID-19 safety concerns. When the hearing was rescheduled for 1 April 2021, the applicant filed an urgent chamber application seeking an interdict to stop the hearing on grounds of document disclosure and COVID-19 safety measures.
