The constitutional question at stake is Section 89- Is Parliament’s impeachment tool effective?

The Ngcobo panel in 2022 found Ramaphosa had a prima facie case to answer for serious misconduct and possible constitutional violations over the burglary cover-up. Parliament, with an ANC majority, voted it down in December 2022 without a full inquiry. EFF and ATM argued that’ the process is irrational — once a panel finds a case to answer, Parliament must investigate. Parliament says it has discretion and ConCourt can’t interfere with separation of powers. The concourt agrees. Ithas ruled that parliament erred in Phala Phala matter. Legal analyst Melusi Xulu, Political analyst, Sandile Swana and ATM leader react on the verdict.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
