President Cyril Ramaphosa.

The Constitutional Court has directed the ATM, EFF, MK Party, UAT and any other party wishing to oppose the urgent application to overturn the Western Cape High Court's interim interdict pausing Parliament's impeachment inquiry into President Cyril Ramaphosa to file their papers by August 5.

The Apex Court made the statement on Thursday.

"Any party that wishes to oppose this application is directed to file their notices to oppose and answering affidavits by Wednesday, August 5, 2026. Further directions may be issued," the court said.

The EFF has filed papers supporting the African Transformation Movement's (ATM) urgent application to overturn the Western Cape High Court's interim interdict.
