MPs has expressed concern that the committee to review the Phala Phala might be delayed.

Political parties have until May 22 to submit the names of MPs who will serve on Parliament’s impeachment committee investigating President Cyril Ramaphosa over the Phala Phala scandal.

However, MPs have warned, however, the inquiry risks being dragged out for months before any evidence is heard.

National Assembly Speaker Thoko Didiza has officially established a 31-member committee that will reconsider evidence linked to the theft of foreign currency from Ramaphosa’s Phala Phala farm and decide whether the president is fit to hold office.

The committee follows a Constitutional Court ruling that forced Parliament to revive the impeachment process after legal challenges over how the matter was previously handled.
