Summary
President Ramaphosa’s legal team is pushing to halt his impeachment inquiry, arguing the damning November report on the Phala Phala farm theft was built on hearsay and flimsy evidence — unfit even for a basic prosecution. They want the court to pause proceedings until the report is set aside, claiming the panel ignored his explanations and treated him like a petty criminal. But opponents say his bid is too late — the inquiry already began before his challenge, and his own court filings weaken his case. The court will rule by next week, while the impeachment committee remains silent and Ramaphosa’s review of the report looms for early September.
