Parliament's Section 89 Impeachment Committee has resolved to appeal a Western Cape High Court ruling that halted public impeachment hearings involving President Cyril Ramaphosa, while also deciding that the authors of the Independent Panel Report will not be called to testify.
The Section 89 Impeachment Committee has resolved to appeal the Western Cape High Court judgment that prevented it from proceeding with public impeachment hearings involving President Cyril Ramaphosa.
The ruling, handed down last week, interdicted the committee from continuing with the hearings pending the outcome of the president's review application.
The committee met on Wednesday to receive a legal briefing from Parliament's Legal Services Division on the court judgment and its implications for the inquiry.
Members also considered a legal opinion on whether the authors of the Independent Panel Report should appear before the committee to present their findings.
