Summary
South Africa’s impeachment panel said it will fight President Cyril Ramaphosa’s court bid to stop its inquiry into his handling of a robbery at his game farm.
The committee also plans to ask the National Assembly speaker to join its opposition to Ramaphosa’s interdict application, widening the institutional pushback.
June 24 is the panel’s next key date, when lawmakers are due to review draft terms of reference and the process for appointing evidence leaders.
The dispute keeps alive an impeachment-track investigation centered on whether Ramaphosa’s response to the farm robbery warrants further parliamentary action.
