## Resource

President Ramaphosa has thrown a legal wrench into the impeachment proceedings by demanding a court review of the Section 89 report that triggered the process, arguing that moving forward without it could cause irreversible harm. The impeachment committee’s first meeting is now pivoting to tackle this court challenge, with legal advice due Thursday morning. Political opponents are pushing back, calling it a delaying tactic, but Ramaphosa insists the report’s legality must be settled in court first — making Thursday’s meeting a pivotal moment that could reshape the entire timeline.
