Ramaphosa accused of undermining his anti-corruption stance with impeachment court bid

PRESIDENT Cyril Ramaphosa has been accused of undermining his anti-corruption stance following his move to block the impeachment committee from proceeding with its inquiry.

- MANYANE MANYANE

Activists and Citizens Forum spokesperson Dennis Bloem said Ramaphosa’s decision to apply for an interdict to halt the impeachment process was in direct contradiction with his promises to fight corruption.

This comes after Ramaphosa filed an urgent application in the Western Cape High Court on Friday, arguing that the impeachment committee should not commence its proceedings until a separate court challenge regarding the Section 89 Independent Panel was finalised.

The report found that there was sufficient evidence that Ramaphosa may have committed serious violations of the Constitution and anti-corruption laws regarding the 2020 theft at his Phala Phala farm.

Ramaphosa stated that allowing an inquiry to move forward based on a report with its validity in dispute would cause irreparable political and reputational harm.
