Parliament Legal Services office to the update the impeachment committee about President Cyril Ramaphosa’s urgent court interdict to stop the process.

Parliament’s Constitutional and Legal Services Office will brief the impeachment committee on Thursday on President Cyril Ramaphosa’s urgent court application to stop the impeachment process pending a review of the Section 89 report.

The briefing, scheduled for 8am, will be the committee’s first substantive item of business since its establishment.

It comes after Ramaphosa filed an urgent interdict application seeking to prevent the inquiry from proceeding before the courts have ruled on his challenge.

The president argued that he will suffer irreparable harm if the committee begins its work before a court has determined whether the 2022 Section 89 panel report should be set aside.
