The Constitutional Court earlier cleared the way for the inquiry, but Ramaphosa sought a temporary injunction from a lower court pending his own legal challenge. A legal opinion backing the impeachment committee insists they must follow the Constitutional Court’s mandate, stressing that opposing the injunction isn’t about bias but about constitutional duty—and that Ramaphosa still has ample opportunity to defend himself. The High Court will decide on the injunction in September, with filings due in July, all stemming from a May ruling that found parliament had improperly blocked impeachment proceedings in December 2022.
