Thoko Didiza called to support impeachment committee against Ramaphosa's interdict

Speaker Thoko Didiza.

Parliament’s Impeachment Committee and the African Transformation Movement (ATM) have resolved to oppose the urgent application brought by President Cyril Ramaphosa to interdict the committee from carrying out its work.

The Impeachment Committee on the Section 89 Enquiry met early on Thursday morning as the deadline for their responses to the urgent application brought by President Cyril Ramaphosa to interdict the committee is on Friday.

Ramaphosa filed papers in the Western Cape High Court on Friday last week, seeking an interdict against National Assembly Speaker Thoko Didiza and Impeachment Committee Chairperson Makashule Gana.

The president wants the committee barred from commencing the impeachment inquiry pending the decision on his review application regarding the Independent Panel report.
