## Resource

We are exactly a week away from the expected deadline for the much anticipated Phala Phala ConCourt judgment to be delivered. The Constitutional Court, in response to EFF Leader Julius Malema's letter, ascertained that the judgment was at an advanced stage and should be expected within a month from the response (8 April 2026). In this episode, we give you context about how we got here and the different scenarios that we could see play out once the judgment is given.
