Law expert and political analyst Zwelethu ‘Mighty’ Madasa says the National Assembly should continue with the impeachment process despite President Cyril Ramaphosa's challenge of the Section 89 Independent Panel report.
The National Assembly will have to continue with its impeachment process against President Cyril Ramaphosa, despite his filing of a review application against the Section 89 report which found he had violated his oath of office.
This is according to advocate and political analyst Zwelethu ‘Mighty’ Madasa, who said the review does not challenge the Constitutional Court (ConCourt) order that Parliament must perform its oversight duties and proceed with the impeachment inquiry.
This comes after the African Transformation Movement (ATM) on Wednesday warned Ramaphosa that halting the impeachment proceedings pending his court application could constitute contempt of the ConCourt order.
Ramaphosa, filed papers in the Western Cape High Court to review and set aside the independent panel report regarding the Phala Phala farm scandal, and also requested that Parliament pause the impeachment process, threatening to seek an urgent interdict if it goes ahead.
