The court has set down the 13th and 14th of February to hear the ATM’s case, where it argues the voting procedure used at the final parliamentary sitting of the year in December, which rejected the report, to have been irrational.
CAPE TOWN - The Western Cape High Court in February will hear arguments from the African Transformation Movement in February challenging the National Assembly ’s handling of the Section 89 panel report that considered impeachment allegations against President Cyril Ramaphosa.
The ATM originally tabled the motion that led to an investigation by an independent panel into misconduct allegations involving the theft of foreign currency from Ramaphosa’s farm. ATM president Vuyo Zungula: “There was a clear intimidation, a threat to the lives of the Members of Parliament. That decision by the speaker was irrational and, therefore, the method of voting that was utilised was unlawful and must be set aside, meaning the voting must be redone, and it must be redone by means of a secret ballot.”
The high court has directed that the ATM’s second matter wherein it’s challenging the NA’s decision not to proceed with an impeachment inquiry, be consolidated with the first case and be heard simultaneously.
