Ramaphosa seeks court order to stop impeachment inquiry

President Cyril Ramaphosa is asking the Western Cape High Court to stop Parliament's impeachment process from moving forward until the court decides whether the Section 89 Independent Panel report was lawful. The President argues that allowing the inquiry to continue before his review application is heard would cause him "severe" and irreparable harm. Meanwhile, the Impeachment Committee is continuing preparations for its inquiry, despite the ongoing legal challenge. Phemelo Motene speaks to legal expert Bophelo Seleke unpacking the constitutional and legal implications of the case.
