## Resource

President Ramaphosa’s bid to halt the impeachment committee’s proceedings is hitting a wall as the committee stands firm, arguing the Western Cape High Court lacks the power to stop their constitutional mandate. Backed by legal advice that blocking the inquiry would defy the Constitutional Court’s order and overstep judicial bounds, the committee insists they must move forward to deliver clarity. They’re not defending guilt or the Phala Phala report, but upholding their duty to investigate potential constitutional breaches — and they’re ready to fight to keep their process intact.
