31 parlamentares são nomeados para o comitê de impeachment do caso Phala Phala

O Parlamento anunciou os 31 parlamentares que integrarão o Comitê de Impeachment que investiga o presidente Cyril Ramaphosa sobre o caso Phala Phala. O painel foi estabelecido após uma ordem do Tribunal Constitucional no início de maio.

Entre os parlamentares estão Julius Malema, John Hlophe, Fadiel Adams, Vuyolwethu Zungula e Faith Muthambi. O comitê é composto por nove membros do ANC, seis do DA, três do MK, dois de cada do ActionSA e do EFF, e um de cada dos demais partidos. No início de maio, o Tribunal Constitucional determinou que o Parlamento criasse o órgão para examinar as conclusões de um painel da Seção 89. Esse painel concluiu que Ramaphosa precisava prestar esclarecimentos sobre o roubo de pelo menos 580 mil dólares em espécie em sua fazenda Phala Phala. Ramaphosa pretende solicitar uma revisão judicial do relatório da Seção 89. O Parlamento deve primeiro alterar suas regras antes que o comitê possa eleger um presidente e iniciar seus trabalhos.
