Tomorrow the constitutional court will hear arguments from the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) about Parliament’s decision to forego an impeachment investigation into President Cyril Ramaphosa due to the Phala-Phala.
In
a case based on the president’s accountability for suspected criminal conduct,
the party is taking action against Ramaphosa, the National Assembly, and the
African National Congress (ANC).
The
EFF wants Ramaphosa to be held accountable for the circumstances surrounding
the February 2020 break-in at his Phala-Phala game farm.
Back
in 2022 The National Assembly rejected the African Transformation Movement’s
(ATM) motion.
Even
though Parliament had already rejected the impeachment proposal by that point,
the Constitutional Court finally decided that the panel had overreached itself
by going straight to the court. Beyond the president’s political repercussions,
the issue might have important long-term legal significance, especially
concerning the presidential impeachment procedures, which the Constitutional
Court has not yet thoroughly examined.
Julius
Malema vowed to lead a mass protests in response to the handling of Ramaphosa’s
farm scandal. The EFF is also expected to brief the media today on its’
preparations to their upcoming elective conference next month in Johannesburg.
