from The Talking Point · host SAfm

Can President Cyril Ramaphosa survive growing calls for his removal following the Constitutional Court’s explosive ruling on the Phala Phala scandal? With the MK Party pushing for a motion of no confidence and opposition parties demanding accountability, pressure is mounting on Parliament and National Assembly Speaker Thoko Didiza to act. The ruling has reignited questions around whether Ramaphosa breached his oath of office — and whether South Africa could now be heading toward an impeachment inquiry or even a political showdown in Parliament. Guest: Professor Bheki Mngomezulu: Political Analyst and Director at the Centre for the Advancement of Non-Racialism and Democracy, at Nelson Mandela University
