3 articles · Updated · Bloomberg · May 22
Monday, May 26, is when President Cyril Ramaphosa’s legal team plans to file papers in the Western Cape High Court seeking a review of an independent panel’s report.
The panel found Ramaphosa may have breached South Africa’s constitution in his handling of a burglary at his game farm, making that report the target of the court challenge.
Peter Harris, Ramaphosa’s lawyer, said by text on Friday that the application would be lodged early next week.
The filing opens a legal pushback by Ramaphosa against findings that have intensified scrutiny of the farm cash burglary case.
After a court revived his impeachment, can Ramaphosa's new legal challenge save his presidency?
