# Public Works minister Dean Macpherson has filed an affidavit opposing the Black Forum South Africa and the Izwi Labantu Forum’s attempt to overturn his appointment of five trustees for the Independent Development Trust. Macpherson argues the challenge relies on the wrong trust deed clause and raises no concerns about the appointees’ competence. He calls the application an abuse of court processes and urges the applicants to withdraw, questioning the urgency and legal standing of their case.
