The EFF has expressed disappointment after the Constitutional Court declined to hear an urgent appeal against a Western Cape High Court order that has halted public hearings by Parliament’s Section 89 Impeachment Committee.
The Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) has expressed “disappointment” after the Constitutional Court rejected a bid to urgently appeal a Western Cape High Court order suspending impeachment proceedings against President Cyril Ramaphosa.
Last month, the Western Cape High Court barred the Section 89 Impeachment Committee from holding public hearings until Ramaphosa’s review application, which seeks to overturn an independent panel’s report finding that he had a case to answer, has been finalised.
ATM leader Vuyo Zungula approached the Constitutional Court, asking for permission to appeal the matter directly.
In a ruling delivered on Wednesday, the apex court said the outcome of Ramaphosa’s review application would render the interim interdict moot.
