Impeachment committee chair Makashule Gana says the committee will oppose the President’s bid to interdict the Section 89 inquiry, insisting it remains bound by a Constitutional Court order to continue its work.
The Parliamentary Impeachment Committee on the Section 89 enquiry has resolved to oppose President Cyril Ramaphosa’s urgent court application seeking to stop the impeachment process against him, escalating a high-stakes constitutional battle now headed for the Western Cape High Court.
The committee confirmed it had also decided to request the Speaker of the National Assembly to join its opposition to the President’s interdict application.
“The committee has also resolved to request the Speaker of the National Assembly to join the committee in opposing the interdict by the President,” committee said
The President launched an urgent application on June12, 2026, seeking to interdict the committee from proceeding with its work. The matter is set down for hearing on July 15 and 16, 2026, in the Western Cape High Court.
