The African Transformation Movement (ATM) has accused President Cyril Ramaphosa of evading the law following his threat to launch an urgent interdict should the National Assembly continue with the impeachment process.
The African Transformation Movement (ATM) has accused President Cyril Ramaphosa of attempting to evade accountability, following his decision to seek a judicial review of the Section 89 independent panel report regarding the Phala Phala farm scandal.
This is after Ramaphosa demanded that Parliament’s impeachment process should be paused while the court reviews the panel report, which found prima facie evidence that he may have committed serious violations of the Constitution in connection with the Phala Phala farm scandal.
Ramaphosa made this demand in his court papers filed at the Western Cape High Court, seeking to set aside the independent report.
The Phala Phala scandal erupted after the former State Security Agency (SSA) Director-General Arthur Fraser filed a formal criminal complaint against Ramaphosa in 2022.
