Ntlemeza has approached the High Court in Pretoria to stop Police Minister Fikile Mbalula from prohibiting him from reporting for duty.
A full bench of the same court ruled last month that the lieutenant general is not fit to hold the top post.
His advocate Nceba Dukada says that order has been appealed and will be heard in the Supreme Court in two weeks’ time.
“The applicant has filed an appeal against the enforcement order granted by the full court and that automatically suspended the entire enforcement order. In other words, the status quo ante remains and the applicant must be at work.”
