- President Ramaphosa intends to file an urgent interdict to block the establishment of the impeachment committee.
- This move follows a Constitutional Court ruling requiring Parliament to restart the Phala Phala impeachment process.
- The ANC publicly supports Ramaphosa and rejects any calls for his resignation before the 2027 national conference.
- Legal experts consider the interdict a tactic to delay proceedings, but the court’s ruling on this remains uncertain.
Attempts to deliberately misrepresent that judgment as proof of wrongdoing are misleading and irresponsible. The ANC remains committed to constitutionalism, accountability and the rule of law, including respect for parliamentary and judicial processes.— Mahlengi Bhengu-Motsiri, ANC spokesperson

If we pass a motion of no confidence against Ramaphosa, he’s going to get his salary for the rest of his life.
