If we pass a motion of no confidence against Ramaphosa, he’s going to get his salary for the rest of his life. But if we impeach him, impeachment means he gets removed as the president, and he loses all the benefits, including the salary. That is what we want.

— Julius Malema, during a speech at a march demanding the impeachment of President Cyril Ramaphosa.

I have never experienced that, ever. And I don’t know if as a country we appreciate how important that is — that we have an executive that does not interfere in the work of the NPA.

— Shamila Batohi, national director of public prosecutions, discussing the importance of political independence for the NPA.

We are not junior members of the commission; we have nothing to do with what the commission is doing. We are a committee of parliament. It is wrong, it is unconstitutional; we have to do things the proper way.

— Julius Malema, during the sitting of the ad hoc committee, emphasizing the need for an original statement from General Mkhwanazi.
