President Cyril Ramaphosa has submitted papers to review the Section 89 Independent Panel Report into the Phala Phala scandal.
Ramaphosa decided to revive a judicial review of the Section 89 Independent Panel Report after the Constitutional Court (ConCourt) sent the report on the Phala Phala scandal back to parliament earlier this month, paving the way for an impeachment process against Ramaphosa to proceed.
Parliament has since announced the MPs who will sit on the impeachment committee that will determine the fate of Ramaphosa in the Phala Phala saga.
Papers
The president wants the report’s recommendations declared unlawful and set aside, challenging the panel’s findings that there was prima facie evidence of a serious violation of the constitution, law, and serious misconduct.
In papers filed in the Western Cape High Court, Ramaphosa has asked the court to dismiss any action taken by the National Assembly (NA) because of the report, broadcaster eNCA reported.
