President Cyril Ramaphosa
A president acting selflessly to protect the office for all who will hold it after him, or a man clinging to power who cannot stomach the "humiliation of accountability"?
These dramatically different portraits of Cyril Ramaphosa emerged on Wednesday, one painted by his spin doctor, the other by a host of political parties in the Western Cape High Court.
It is in this court that Ramaphosa is asking for the impeachment inquiry against him to be stopped in its tracks.
This is because he is separately asking the same court to throw out the report on which the Section 89 process rests, a case that will only be heard in September.
