President Cyril Ramaphosa is set to block the establishment of an impeachment committee.

President Cyril Ramaphosa looks set to interdict the Phala Phala impeachment, aimed at stalling the Section 89 committee process following a Constitutional Court (ConCourt) ruling.

ANC sources revealed that Ramaphosa has decided to stall the impeachment proceedings, with the party throwing its weight behind the move.

The sources said Ramaphosa is planning to file an urgent court interdict, which aims to block the establishment of an impeachment committee following the ConCourt ruling on the Phala Phala scandal.

This is after National Assembly Speaker Thoko Didiza announced the formation of a 31-member impeachment committee to process the Section 89 report. The committee consists of members from the majority of the political parties in the National Assembly.
