South Africa's National Assembly Speaker Thoko Didiza has begun the process of forming a 31-member impeachment committee to examine allegations against President Cyril Ramaphosa over foreign currency found at his Phala Phala farm. The move follows a Constitutional Court ruling last Friday that declared a parliamentary rule unconstitutional and required the committee's establishment. Political parties must submit names for the committee by 22 May 2026.
The Western Cape High Court granted President Cyril Ramaphosa an interdict on 24 July 2026 to halt Parliament’s Section 89 impeachment committee from proceeding with a public inquiry into the Phala Phala matter.

South Africa’s parliamentary impeachment committee has decided to fight President Cyril Ramaphosa’s court bid to pause its work. The move comes after the Constitutional Court cleared the way for proceedings over the Phala Phala farm theft. A hearing on the interdict is expected later this year.
