As President Cyril Ramaphosa seeks to block an impeachment probe, critics accuse him of abandoning his anti-corruption pledge.
After moving to block the impeachment committee's investigation, President Cyril Ramaphosa has come under fire for allegedly weakening his anti-corruption stance.
Activists and Citizens Forum spokesperson Dennis Bloem said Ramaphosa’s decision to run 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 is 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.
