Cyril Ramaphosa

South Africa President Cyril Ramaphosa has an urgent bid to block the parliamentary impeachment process against him. Ramaphosa filed the urgent interdict to stop Parliament’s Section 89 Impeachment Committee from continuing its inquiry into his fitness to hold office. The inquiry follows the 2020 'Phala Phala' incident, where $580,000 in cash was allegedly stolen from Ramaphosa's private farm, raising legal declaration issues. Ramaphosa argues the panel report is flawed, relied on hearsay, and exceeded its mandate.
