Es poco probable que la norma de sub judice detenga la investigación de juicio político contra Ramaphosa

La norma de sub judice difícilmente detendrá los procedimientos del comité de juicio político que investiga al presidente Cyril Ramaphosa por el caso Phala Phala. La revisión legal de Ramaphosa sobre el informe del panel de la Sección 89 está programada para principios de septiembre en el Tribunal Superior de Western Cape. El comité se reunirá pronto para decidir sus próximos pasos.

El panel independiente de la Sección 89 había hallado pruebas prima facie para que Ramaphosa responda sobre la moneda extranjera almacenada en su granja de Phala Phala. Esto sigue a una decisión del Tribunal Constitucional de que la Asamblea Nacional actuó ilegalmente al rechazar el informe del panel sin una investigación adicional. Lawson Naidoo, director ejecutivo del Consejo para el Avance de la Constitución Sudafricana, declaró que es poco probable que el parlamento pueda utilizar la norma para detener al comité. Señaló que ya existe un extenso debate público sobre la revisión. El abogado Paul Hoffman de Accountability Now dijo que la revisión del Tribunal Superior, fijada para el 2 al 4 de septiembre, podría poner fin al proceso de destitución si tiene éxito. Se espera cualquier fallo en el plazo de un mes, sujeto a una posible apelación. El comité de juicio político planea reunirse en breve para definir su enfoque.
