MK Party and UAT back in court seeking urgent leave to appeal the ruling that halted Parliament's Section 89 impeachment inquiry for Ramaphosa

from First Take SA · host SAfm

The uMkhonto weSizwe Party and United Africans Transformation are back in the Western Cape High Court today. They are seeking urgent leave to appeal a ruling that froze Parliament's Section 89 impeachment inquiry into President Cyril Ramaphosa. The court halted the Impeachment Committee's work last month at the President's request, pending a review of the independent panel's Phala Phala report. This follows the Constitutional Court's recent dismissal of a direct appeal on the matter. We spoke to MKP MP, Andile  Mgxitama.
