Chairperson of the Impeachment Committee on Section 89 inquiry, Makashule Gana
Parliament’s impeachment committee on Wednesday said it would oppose two court applications challenging its decision to withdraw its recommendation of Adv Thandazani Madonsela SC as evidence leader.
It also agreed to hold off on recommending another evidence leader until the legal challenges have been dealt with.
The vote was 19 to nine.
The committee is conducting the Section 89 inquiry into whether President Cyril Ramaphosa should be removed from office over the Phala Phala scandal, in which more than half-a-million dollars were stolen from his Limpopo game farm in February 2020.
