Overview

  • The EFF led supporters through Johannesburg to the Constitutional Court on Friday and handed over a memorandum calling for the immediate publication of the Phala Phala decision.
  • The party notes the case was heard on November 26, 2024 with judgment reserved, arguing the year-long wait breaches judicial norms that target delivery within three months.
  • The application before the court challenges Parliament’s rejection of the Section 89 panel report on President Cyril Ramaphosa, after the panel led by Sandile Ngcobo found prima facie evidence of legal violations.
  • The memorandum reiterates allegations that undeclared foreign currency linked to a 2020 farm theft was concealed and that the Presidential Protection Unit ran an unlawful probe rather than a SAPS-reported case.
  • Addressing supporters, Julius Malema pressed for impeachment proceedings and criticized the judiciary’s delay, while Chief Justice Mandisa Maya had said earlier this week there was nothing sinister about the timing.
