Election campaign Activists and Citizen Forum spokesperson Dennis Bloem says President Cyril Ramaphosa has undermined his anti-corruption stance after he filed an urgent court application to stop impeachment proceedings.
President Cyril Ramaphosa has been accused of undermining his anti-corruption stance following his move to block the impeachment committee from proceeding with its inquiry.
Activists and Citizens Forum spokesperson Dennis Bloem said Ramaphosa’s decision to apply for an interdict to halt the impeachment process is in direct contradiction with his promises to fight corruption.
This comes after Ramaphosa on Friday filed an urgent application in the Western Cape High Court, arguing that the impeachment committee should not commence its proceedings until a separate court challenge regarding the Section 89 Independent Panel was finalised.
The report found that there was prima facie evidence that Ramaphosa may have committed serious violations of the Constitution and anti-corruption laws regarding the 2020 theft at his Phala Phala farm.
