President Cyril Ramaphosa
President Cyril Ramaphosa's bid to have the report that triggered his Phala Phala impeachment inquiry set aside rests, in part, on a court case about a schoolboy suspended from class.
His advocate, Wim Trengove SC, relied on the judgment in the Western Cape High Court on Wednesday as he argued that, contrary to the respondents’ contention, Ramaphosa’s application was not premature.
This despite Parliament’s impeachment inquiry not having been concluded.
Ramaphosa asked the court to set aside the Section 89 independent panel's report, which found in November 2022 that there was enough evidence for him to face four impeachment charges.
