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.
President Cyril Ramaphosa announced he will seek a court review of Parliament’s Section 89 report on the Phala Phala farm theft. He also stated he has no intention of resigning amid growing calls for his impeachment.
