News24's Thomas Hartleb says the judge has delayed the hearing to 14:00. The urgent application hearing was initially set for 12:00, then postponed to 13:15 and now to 14:00. The judge is evidently still reading through the court papers.

Suspended SAA CEO Monwabisi Kalawe's main disciplinary charge reportedly relates to attempts during his suspension to secure evidence that Myeni had foreign bank accounts, which he believed would show evidence of her receipt of “incentive payments”.

"Mr Kalawe has throughout his suspension attempted to avoid facing these disciplinary charges at a disciplinary hearing and consistent with such attempts now seeks to interdict this in the Labour Court," SAA spokesperson Tlali Tlali said.
