Some political parties in South Africa’s (SA) Parliament say preparations for a possible impeachment inquiry against President Cyril Ramaphosa should continue, despite his decision to challenge the Section 89 Independent Panel report in court.
Ramaphosa has filed papers in the Western Cape High Court seeking a judicial review of the panel’s findings into the Phala Phala scandal.
The panel concluded that Ramaphosa may have a case to answer over the theft of foreign currency from his Limpopo game farm in February 2020.
However, at this stage, Ramaphosa is requesting only a review of the report and has not sought an urgent court order to halt the impeachment process.
